All you need is:

for my $client ( @clients ) {
    ## Note: the '1' first parameter to system
    ## which means that the command will be executed asynchronously
    system 1, qq[ robocopy $srcmachine $client ]; 
}

    Can you explain what this does? Instead of calling robocopy at the same line, I would like to copy a function with two arguments, src and dest. meaning like this. 
    system 1, &startCopy( $srcMachine $client->[0]);

    But (in eclipse), its giving me a syntax error. Any suggestions on this?

      Did you try looking up what the system function does?
