I tried Win32::Proc but the obj handle was not visible to the parent

This works for me:
use warnings;
use strict;
use Win32::Process;

my $ProcessObj;

Win32::Process::Create (
    $ProcessObj,        # Process handle 
    "C:\\Perl\\bin\\perl.exe",
    "C:\\Perl\\bin\\perl.exe gash1.pl",
    0,                # inherit handles boolean
    NORMAL_PRIORITY_CLASS,    # Creation flags
    ".");        
    
my $pid = $ProcessObj->GetProcessID();    
my $exitcode = 37;

print "Hit <RETURN> to continue....";
<STDIN>;

Win32::Process::KillProcess($pid, $exitcode);

gash1.pl:
use warnings;
use strict;

while (1) {
    print "$0 in a loop....\n";
    sleep 1;
}

I had a similar requirement a while ago, Proc::Background does a similar thing, but I also had to use standard modules. I have put my code on my scratchpad - feel free to use any bits you like.
