Hello,

Thank you for the suggestions.

But do you know another way to do it, without using this modules (Proc and Schedule) ?

Thank you

    Of course, you don't have to use Proc::Background, it's just a nicety and saves you dealing with all the low-level wrangling involved with using fork in a robust fashion. But by all means feel free to use fork natively if you would rather. TIMTOWTDI, after all.

      Hi,

      Ok thank you for the advice.

    Why? Maybe I'll have some ideas :)

    But, this is like the lowest common demoninator of portability and ease :)

      :) I will try to not complicate my life.
