hi, i am wanting a way to prevent my perl script from timing out, at the moment the only way i know how, or think i know how is to use the Win32::Process module, i have looked at it on cpan, but i am still not sure how to use it, the code is something like... 
Use Win32::Process;

Win32::Process::Create($ProcessObj,
                "D:\\winnt35\\system32\\notepad.exe",
                "notepad temp.txt",
                0,
                NORMAL_PRIORITY_CLASS,
                ".")|| die ErrorReport();

    $ProcessObj->Wait(INFINITE);

its the middle part where i create my object that im not exactly sure what i am suppose to put in there or how the whole thing works overall, i cant figure it out? thanks to anyone that can help me out :)
