title: How do you start a background process in Perl?
body: <p>I'm trying to figure out how to start a background process in a perl script (on Windows). In other words, I don't want the script to wait for the child process to complete before regaining control. Is there an easy way to do this in just a few lines of code? I've looked at perldoc for the system command, but it doesn't seem to do what I want..</p>
