Honourable monks of Perlish persuasion,
In response to detached process in windows I got what I thought was the perfect, simple solution to spawning detached children, suggested by BrowserUK. Unfortunately now I'm finding when the parent runs for a while it starts failing with Resource temporarily unavailable
Here is a simple demonstration (Windows 2000 'Pro', Perl 5.8.8 +50 patches, Active State)
C:\> perl -le "for (1..100)
{system 1,'echo>null';print \"$_\t\",$?==-1 ? $! : 'OK' };"
1 OK
2 OK
.
.
.
63 OK
64 OK
65 Resource temporarily unavailable
66 Resource temporarily unavailable
.
.
.
99 Resource temporarily unavailable
100 Resource temporarily unavailable
Is this a known windows 'feature' and can it be fixed easily or am I really best just accepting a bigger implementation variance between my Linux/Windows code and throwing in some if $^O eq 'MSWin32' require Win32::Process; as suggested in the same thread by bart
Thanks again for all your help, R.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
