I have run win32::process from my local machine, calling an executable from the server, and it appears as a process on my local workstation and I can see the notepad window.

When I call win32::process from a CGI script, it creates a background process on the web server (no window) called notepad.exe.

Question 1 : Does win32::process only create processes on the boxes that they are run on (no calling processes to run on other boxes)?

Question 2 :Why was the server version background (i.e. no window) and the local run was not?

    Win32::Process::Create($ProcessObj,
                '//server/winnt/notepad.exe',
                'notepad //server/winnt/temp.txt',
                0,
                CREATE_NEW_CONSOLE,
                ".")|| die ErrorReport();

Thanks for all your help...
