Hi, welcome to the Monastery, you may wish to review How do I post a question effectively? and post real code, an error message, or both :)	[reply]

this example code from module documentation Win32::Process works fine on Win7 x64. As Win 7 and Server 2008 shares most of internal code this should work fine on 2008 too. `use strict; use warnings; use diagnostics; use Win32::Process; use Win32; sub ErrorReport{ print Win32::FormatMessage( Win32::GetLastError() ); } my $ProcessObj; Win32::Process::Create($ProcessObj, "C:\\windows\\system32\\notepad.exe", "notepad temp.txt", 0, NORMAL_PRIORITY_CLASS, ".")\|\| die ErrorReport(); $ProcessObj->Suspend(); $ProcessObj->Resume(); $ProcessObj->Wait(INFINITE);` [download]	[reply] [d/l]
