Does anyone know of a way to fork off to another window? Ideally, the parent would be completely independent of the child. I am using ActivePerl 5xx on 2000. I tried Win32::Console, but I don't know if it will work in win32, but since fork() is _emulated_ in Win32, it doesn't seem work properly. It opens the first window, then closes it and opens a second window: #/usr/bin/perl -w if (fork() == 0) { sleep(1); } use Win32::Console; my $CONSOLE = new Win32::Console(); $CONSOLE->Free(); $CONSOLE->Alloc(); $CONSOLE->Display(); print "hello\n"; sleep(5); Thanks, Rob -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
