Re^2: Starting up an external program with Win32::Process::Create fails for some, no others?

Yes, that works! Thanks. I had been using system() before I discovered Create(), but I didn't know there was an async way to use it.

I'm not sure why I can't get Create() to work. I've tried all kinds of permutations, including what BrowserUk suggested, but nothing happens.

Any way, the system call is much simpler.
