CGI script is like

... object instantiation ...
$obj->run()


Perl Module is like

... object definition (a very long and complex one) ...
sub run {
... normal sub definition (a lengthy one also) ...
system "command param &" and warn '';
}


so if the call is like:
system "command param" it does not work and no error is actually raised in any mode
system "command param &" does strangely work

the problem is that param is some internally computed runtime id and what I tested also is to assign that id to some global variable to CGI script through $main::global_var and when executing the same system "command param" it does work but it's not a suitable variant to use (so i did use & variant)
