Thanks guys, I think this should be able to do what I want, as the browser goes straight to the return page and prints 'HI1'. Thanks again,
Alex
#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
defined(my $pid = fork ) or die "Could not fork: $!";
if ($pid){
print "Content-type: text/html\n\n<html>";
print "\nHI1\n\n</html>\n\n";
exit;
} else {
close(STDIN);
close(STDOUT);
close(STDERR);
exec 'sleep 10 ;echo "HI2"'
}
