If you are spawning procs on a win32 box, the typical fork () examples from
the unix side may not work in windows. often get unexpected results. so save
youself trouble and use on of these modules:
Win32::Process
Win32::Spawn
Win32::IProc ( have not used this one, but supposed to be very good)
the docs have examples. and here too:
