I think you would do better to use a module like IPC::Run, which can launch processes on both Windows and Linux using the native APIs of each. Fork is not supported well, if at all, on Windows.
You might want to think about sending a signal to a daemon process running on the side. Creating child processes in the web server directly will imply little control over waiting for them to finish.
