David I *BELIEVE* fork() is supported in Perl 5.6 on Win32 in an emulated form, but I'm 150 miles away from my documentation and only have a 9600 baud mobile to connect to the web over so I can't check !
It wasn't supported in older builds. Cheers Paul ******************************************************************************* Important.
