If you are spawning procs on a win32 box, the typical fork () examples from the unix side may not work in windows. often get unexpected results. so save youself trouble and use on of these modules: Win32::Process Win32::Spawn Win32::IProc ( have not used this one, but supposed to be very good) the docs have examples. and here too: http://data.uta.edu/~ramesh/cse4392-5392/Ch4-1.html -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
