I found it hard to understand tilly's script because I am pretty new to Perl (I really did try, though). The way I ended up solving this problem was:

# Created on 9/6/00 by Jonathan E. Dyer

@servers=('server1','server2','server3','server4','server5','server6',
+'server7','server8','server9');


use Win32::Process;
sub ErrorReport{
    print Win32::FormatMessage( Win32::GetLastError() );
        }

foreach $server (@servers){
    Win32::Process::Create($ProcessObj,
                "c:\\perl\\bin\\perl.exe",
                "perl.exe c:\\findstuff6.pl -s$server",
                0,
                NORMAL_PRIORITY_CLASS,
                ".")|| die ErrorReport();

    #$ProcessObj->Suspend();
    #$ProcessObj->Resume();
    #$ProcessObj->Wait(INFINITE);
}

The problem that caused me the biggest headache was the third variable in win32::process. I kept forgetting to put perl.exe before the script, assuming that this was covered by variable 2.

I hope this helps if anyone runs into the same issue...
