Doing a fork shall help.
Child runs the system command and exit. Pather creats a new child for the
rest.
foreach my $cmd (@cmds) {
if (fork() == 0) { # child
system($cmd);
exit(0);
}
}
Is this what you need?

Subject: array output
All,
I have an array of 40 elements and I want to run a system app command
against all the elements simultaneously ...well not line by line as in a
for loop.
I have tried
does anyone know how to spit out all 40 elements so the app command does
not eject tapes one by one?
thanks
