(i.e., fork)

Remember that if the OP is using Word, he his (almost certainly) running on Windows--and on Windows, fork is emulated using threads--so using a forking solution, whether via the built-in fork, or via some module like Parallel::ForkManager, (there doesn't seem to be a Fork::Manager module?), then he would experience exactly the same problems as he is encountering now.

"Science is about questioning the status quo. Questioning authority".
In the absence of evidence, opinion is indistinguishable from prejudice.
