Does not work with autobox on Windows

[iynehz]

I've raise this ticket chocolateboy/autobox#16 to autobox. But at this moment I am not sure whether it's an issue on autobox side or Parallel::ForkManager side.

Also paste the demo code here. Windows 11 22H2, Strawberry Perl 5.32.1

use Parallel::ForkManager;

# comment out this line and it becomes good.
use autobox;

my $pm = Parallel::ForkManager->new(3);

$pm->run_on_finish(
    sub {
        my ( $pid, $exit_code, $ident, $exit_signal, $core_dump, $returned ) = @_;
        print "Child with ", $returned->{id}, " finished.\n";
    }
);

LOOP:
foreach my $id (0 .. 10) {
    my $pid = $pm->start and next LOOP;
    print "Starting with $id \n";
    my $return_data = {};
    $return_data->{id} = $id;
    $pm->finish( 0, $return_data );
}
$pm->wait_all_children;
print "is this gonna work???\n";

Seems to work for me. What error are you getting?

⥼ perl -MParallel::ForkManager\ 999
Parallel::ForkManager version 999 required--this is only version 2.02.
 
⥼ perl -Mautobox\ 999

⥼ perl -V

It ends after Parallel::ForkManager starts, like this,

>perl foo.pl
Starting with 0
Starting with 1
Starting with 2

>echo %errorlevel%

Strangely I tried multiple combinations and all got the same issue.

• Windows 11 22H2, Strawberry Perl 5.32.1
• Windows 11 22H2, Strawberry Perl 5.30.0
• Windows 10 21H2, Strawberry Perl 5.30.0

And actually I got the issue reported from this ticket to my library iynehz/perl5-Chart-GGPlot#29, and I narrowed it down to autobox. So you see it's not only me.

Close this ticket, as it's an issue on autobox side, according to chocolateboy and Mario Roy.
