Hi All:
      I am new in Erlang, and try the pmap at
http://www.erlang.org/ml-archive/erlang-questions/200606/msg00187.html:

In file test.erl:
-module(test).
-export([pmap/2]).

pmap(F, L) ->
    S = self(),
    Pids = list:map(
                    fun(I) ->
                        spawn(
                              fun() ->
                                  do_f(S, F, I)
                              end)
                    end, L),
    gather(Pids).

gather([H|T]) ->
    receive
        {H, Ret} -> [Ret|gather(T)]
    end;
gather([]) ->
    [].

do_f(Parent, F, I) ->
    io:format("Receive item ~w~n", [I]),
    Parent ! {self(), (catch F(I))}.

In file testmain.erl:
-module(testmain).
-export([test3/0]).

test3() ->
    MyList = [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10],
    lists:map(fun(I) -> I*2 end, MyList).

when I execute " testmain:test3(). ", I get errors:

=ERROR REPORT==== 30-Aug-2006::16:21:51 ===
Error in process <0.36.0> on node 'Erlide_2960df@REDACTED' with exit value:
{undef,[{testmain,test3,[]},{erl_eval,do_apply,5},{shell,exprs,6},{shell,eval_loop,3}]}

** exited: {undef,[{testmain,test3,[]},
                   {erl_eval,do_apply,5},
                   {shell,exprs,6},
                   {shell,eval_loop,3}]} **

Anyone could help me? Thanks.

Best regards.
