Hey BrowserUK, thanks for the reply!

Ok cool, thanks for the clarification...

I guess I'll save myself the headache and use that system command that you posted, which you
suggested I try.

Which was this one here:

Perl> $pid = system 1, 'perl', '-E"sleep 20; say q[done]"';;
Perl> print kill 0, $pid while sleep 1;;
[download]

Since the command seems to work without any problems and I can check on it's progress, then that's
good enough for me!


Thanks Again for the help, very much appreciated!


Thanks,
Matt
