If it has to be done in parallel, you can always fork inside your own code, instead of relying upon a system call. You can do this either by using the fork command (recomended), by using the 5.8.0 ithreads (not reccomended) or by porting everything to Poe (simulates threading/event driven enviroment). Granted you would be loosing the ability of using system utilities to keep track of things as everything would be happening >inside< the perl process ... (fork under win32 uses ithreads internally) ... but it would introduce the control you want. Otherwise you were on the right track need to looking at the different ways to run external programs. Win32::Process being one of them. -Chris _______________________________________________ ActivePerl mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe: http://listserv.ActiveState.com/mailman/mysubs
