Thanx Anonymous Monk, I studied what you proposed and came up with this:
use Win32::ShellQuote();
use Win32::Process();
my(@Node_Exe_Location) = ['C:\Program Files\nodejs\node.exe'];
my(@Child_Script_To_Run) = [
'node',
'I:\HTTPS\prinet.org\site\assets\javascript\child-module.js'
];
Win32::Process::Create(
$Child_Module,
Win32::ShellQuote::quote_system_string(@Node_Exe_Location),
Win32::ShellQuote::quote_system_string(@Child_Script_To_Run),
0,
Win32::Process::DETACHED_PROCESS(),
".",
)
or do {
my($err) = int($!).' '.$!." #### ".int($^E)." $^E ";
warn "??? - CreateProcess failed $err ";
};
I have tried several variations of single quote, double quote, escaped and non-escaped slashes/back slashes to no avail. The closest I have got is the above code, but I'm getting "??? - CreateProcess failed 0 #### 123 The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect" in the error log. I seriously appreciate your direction, but I'm having trouble understanding the syntax somehow. I'm assuming that "Win32::Process::DETACHED_PROCESS()" is something I wasn't aware of and that is one of the keys to what I'm attempting, but the "Win32::ShellQuote()" is what I'm misunderstanding somehow. Could you enlighten me a wee bit more? Oh, yea, thank you for what you provided, I'm going to keep experimenting here...

I tried re-inventing the wheel again, but everytime I push it, it still falls flat on it's side...

You use quote_system_string, but you don't use system. quote_native sounds more appropriate.
