This looks really nice but I can not get it to work :( 

C:\system\Perl\bin>perl print.pl one two
This is my @ARGV one, two

>perl -MWin32::Job -le"$job=Win32::Job->new;$job->spawn('perl', 'perl 
+print.pl one two', {stdout=> 'test.out'}); print "ran OK" if $job->ru
+n(5);"

>type test.out

>dir test.out

It is also not printing "Ran OK" even though it is returning the prompt imediately so not hitting the 5 second timeout. Did I miss something obvious ? (I also tried giving it stdout => 'test.out' which the doco says should also work, same thing, zero byte file)

Cheers,
