Hi, Ive tried creating a Perl script, that would create mulitple XML files. These XML files have to then get executed using an application, mentioned in the last line of the script. However, if I want say 5 XMLs to be created, it does get created but the execution of these XMLs happens only one at a time, provided I press the Ctrl C each time. This gets tedious if I have to create 100 such files, it defeats the entire idea of automating it, if I have to press Ctrl C each time. After the system(@command), at the end of the loop, is there anything I can do to prevent the script from looking for a Ctrl C? Thanks, your help will be greatly appreciated.
