in reply to To run win command with perl with no wait for process to complete and perl to continue furher

You need to fork() first, then exec(). Windows doesn't have fork(), but IIRC perl on Windows fakes it up somehow.

I expect that there's also a Win32::SomethingOrOther that would do the same thing.
