in thread starting a process in the background, with a twist

PS. I propose that this method (system 1, "program_name") be added to the relevant entry in perlfaq8, because it's simple and useful. A similar hack for Unix-like systems is already present there.

You could propose it to the Perl5 Porters via their mailing list by submitting a patch as described in perlhack#SUPER-QUICK-PATCH-GUIDE.
