the nested parenthesis are supposed to be referenced.  How would I get what

Everything is captured in $1, $2, $3... in the order of opening parenthesis, from left to right.


2.  How do I set off a new process, not waiting or caring about any return

$myApp = "/proj/mycoolexecutable";
$myOptions = "-f -n2 file1 file2";
# execute $myApp." ".$myOptions here, and do not wait for any return values

See: perldoc -f fork perldoc -f exec
