Scenario: I've to spawn 2 processes on windows. one is client process and second is server process. Client passes input file to server and server reads it and generate output file.

What I've done: I've used one start_comm.pl file which spawns processes using PerlACE:Process module. This module contains Process_Win32.pm which uses Win32::Process:create to spwan new process. I pass client and server parameters to start_comm.pl file which again call PerlACE module and then Win32::Process::create mathod.

Problem: Server doesn't generate any output file at desired location. Also I don't see any error while creating process or anywhere. Process just starts in new window and disappears within less than a second.

start_comm.pl 

use PerlACE::Process;
my $server;
$server = new PerlACE::Process("$server_name", "$server_param");
$status = $server->Spawn ();

$client = new PerlACE::Process("$client_name", "$client_param");
print $client->CommandLine(), "\n";

<br/>

Thanks in advance.
$status = $client->Spawn ();
