Re: Running a Perl script in the background from another Perl script

Here is how you do it with Win32::Process:

use Win32::Process;

Win32::Process::Create($Win32::Process::Create::ProcessObj,
    'c:/perl/bin/perl.exe', #path to perl
    'perl script.pl',       #perl script
    0,
    DETACHED_PROCESS,
    ".")or
    die "$!";

I would try to avoid hard coding the path to perl, using $^X to keep track of the perl binary. `perldoc perlvar` for more info. /J	[reply] [d/l]
