how to start a command asyncronous in the backgroun on W2K

[aroushdi]

I am writing a script to ask for some variables , construct the command 
then launch  the command with qx or backtick . The command works fine .
My problem is that the command monopolizes a console session ( I can 
kill it and my fired command still works ) .
what i need is to fir the command in the background and exit the perl 
shell .
any suggestions
ur help is greatly appreciated
