They are using Telnet to install the same. But they keep on waiting till the app is over. While I want the app still to be running when telnet is closed.

    You will need to find out about how to disassociate from the telnet server on the other side. Maybe, if the telnet server gives you a cmd.exe command prompt, you can use the start command to launch a disassociated program. Alternatively, if the server gives you a unix-like shell, you might be able to send your program into the background by closing its input and output filehandles and double-forking. Proc::Background may or may not have a solution there.
