Multible writers on an IO::Pipe
Hi all,

I use IO::Pipe to send information from (about 70) child-processes to their father. All of them use the same pipe for that as they send the same kind of information.
But I can see an unexplainable loss of that data - where unexplainable means in three of 100,000 equal cases. So I have the idea, that it might not be a very good idea to have multiple writers to that pipe - but the module description does not say anything about that. Does anybody know if this might be the problem and if yes, is there a module usable for my case or another way to stop that loss?

Thanks a lot,
pygoscelis
