in thread execute secondary script not waiting for a result and continue with script

I need test2.pl & test3.pl to run at the same time, with system() it will wait for test2.pl to finish before executing test3.pl

If you don't want to explicitly fork as correctly suggested to you by several monks, then a cheap way to have perl implicitly do that for you that is often is by means of piped open's.
