[Solved] Executing several commands at once [closed]

You should show what you have written, or we have no way of knowing what might be a “better way”

You should probably take a look at Parallel::ForkManager. Using that module your program could look something like this

There’s a lot missing from this code, most importantly use strict and use warnings 'all', and the declaration and population of @list. I trust that you can fill in the blanks

Note that the limit on ten parallel process is imposed by the module, and that "..." must be filled in by yourself as the destination path. It’s always best to do what you need within Perl instead of shelling out just to call cp, so I’ve involved File::Copy instead

use Parallel::ForkManager ();
use File::Copy 'copy';

my $pm = Parallel::ForkManager->new(10);

for my $file ( @list ) {

    next if my $pid = $pm->start;

    # Child code

    copy $file, "...";
    $pm->finish;
}
