Hi,

I am running perl, v5.6.0 built for MSWin32-x86-multi-thread on windows 2000. I get a weird behavior when running scripts that system off large executables. After I am all done running the systemed off executable, and the script the perl.exe can still be seen in the windows Task Manager. I launch a lot of jobs remotely to different machines and for some weird reason some of these machines are accumulating these finished perl.exe in their process tables. I have nod idea if this a perl bug or windows feature (like the lost STDIN/STDOUT problem seen on win 2000). If anyone has seen this weird behavior before or knows why this could be happening please let me know

Thanks.
