I had a similar situation,
didn't really like Win32::Process, fork didn't work, I don't think it does
outside of Unix, either one seems complicated to me. Instead I just wrote the
data to a queue in a file and had another 'background' process poll the
file every 10 seconds to see if there was a job to do, wasn't complicated that
way.

Look at
Win32::Process (Create function). If you have trouble
figuring it
out, repost with a failing snippet.
