in reply to running an external program without waiting for its execution
If you're running under Win32 (which you probably aren't) then
one of the best ways of doing this kind of thing is to use the
Win32::Process module. You can fire off a task as a DETACHED_PROCESS
and then forget about it. Useful if you don't have a decent fork but
not even remotely portable.
