Achieve background processing(forking) in windows

Hi Laurent, Thanks for your response. Ok. That makes sense. However, still not sure how to acheive this in Windows. I have been looking for several options online and a lot are very skeptical about forking in windows and all I tried so far has not worked.I tried the fork() emulation in perl for windows. It just never seemed to run the background script, though it did return a pid. I will explore the .bat option. Thanks for your inputs again. Appreciate it.

I have also tried Proc::Background::Win32 with not much result. It still seemd to wait for the process to finish. I did do the Close STDOUT,STDIN,STDERR filehandles part. Any inputs on this or how to capture a HTTP Error code would help. Thanks in advance.	[reply]
