in thread Launch an exe using system

Thanks for your suggestion. The error is "Windows cannot find C:/program". The space in the program file is not read. So I was not able to launch the exe.

    Well, that is an error message from the shell you're using, the shell which has the start command

    You can read about it if you use the help command ( help start)

    You can learn more about shells if you read Behind the GUI lives the Shell and perlrun

    If you use Proc::Background, you don't have to concern yourself with the shell start command
