Yes, I can download the tar.gzipped modules from CPAN and install them manually, but looking at the possibly relevant modules in the FAQ (Proc::Background, Win32::Process etc.) I saw that each of them has non-trivial dependencies. Anyway, your suggestion works (except that I needed kill 9 instead of kill 2). You are right that there are complications, for example you were right about the VM, there is one involved in the problem :), but for this specific case, it looks like that your solution will be adequate. Thanks! PS. I propose that this method (system 1, "program_name") be added to the relevant entry in perlfaq8, because it's simple and useful. A similar hack for Unix-like systems is already present there. In reply to Re^2: starting a process in the background, with a twist
