Hello All,
I have two perl scripts that have to run at the same time on a windows box. Is there a way in perl to kick off two scripts at the same time?
Regards,
[ stay on-list please, and bottom-post please ]

x.pl y.pl
How is this done?
You can use a shell to start them both:
$ perl x.pl &; perl y.pl &
Or, one can fork() and exec() the other:
x.pl ----
# start y.pl running fork && exec 'y.pl';
... x.pl continues ...
See
perldoc -f fork perldoc -f exec perldoc perlipc William Black
