in reply to how to come next line to debug

exec never returns, as clearly stated in the documentation. Maybe you want system instead?

    foreach my $missingExe (@exeList){
  chdir "d:\\exepath";  #change the path
  system(1, "$missingExe");        #for run the exe here 1 is for don'
+t wait for next line to execute
# $missingExe is the watch folder exe so it never ends 
}

    This coding runs fine but this program could not end, until or otherwise i manually close the exe's($missingExe). Then only i can end this program.

    So what can i do for this.

    Thanks in advance,
    Shanmugm A.

      If I understand your question correctly, it is "how do I run programs in the background?".

      This question has been asked many times here, and search for it should reveal many helpful replies.
