Win32::Process allows you to create process that are controllable. This is all detailed in Dave Roth's book Win32 Perl Programming.
There is also an example in the active perl documentation. I have pasted it below Win32::Process::Create($ProcessObj, "D:\\winnt35\\system32\\notepad.exe", "notepad temp.txt", 0, NORMAL_PRIORITY_CLASS, ".")|| die ErrorReport(); $ProcessObj->Suspend(); $ProcessObj->Resume(); $ProcessObj->Wait(INFINITE); This creates an instance on notepad at a normal priority with a file temp.txt as it's arguments. It is created in the current directory. It refer's to notepad as $ProcessObj. My boss is shouting at me so you will have to get the rest from elsewhere.
