Run a script in background and exit the main script on windows

PBeginner has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hi All, Need your help,advices again. I have a Perl script(parent) which triggers another Perl script(child) from within.Requirement is that this child script runs in the background,writes output to a file and parent Perl script exits without waiting for the child to complete. I tried Proc::Simple but the parent waits for the child.Could you suggest me over here. NOTE: This is on Windows environment.
