If you just want to run another Perl script and not have the existing Perl script wait for it to return use "exec" instead of "system". Taken from the Perl docs:
exec LIST exec PROGRAM LIST The exec function executes a system command and never returns-- use system instead of exec if you want it to return. It fails and returns false only if the command does not exist and it is executed directly instead of via your system's command shell (see below). Hope this helps. Kind regards, Trevor J.
