Hi, $0.02 Look on cpan for the various proc:: modules. If you're doing something like a file copy, and need to shell out to do something, consider looking at : http://search.cpan.org/~bzajac/Proc-Background-1.10/lib/Proc/Background.pm. For me, it works when I need to do something on the command line and wait for it to come back to me... Others your milage may vary... Good luck, Zak
