[perl-win32-gui-users] Launching a detached child process from Win32 app

[Zach <zp...@ya...>]

I recently wrote an install shield with Win32::GUI. A
nice feature I see of some install shields is the
option to "Launch application" after the install is
done. It's a nice convinient feature to let the user
get down to business without having to click on the
app via the start menu or desktop icon. 

The problem is that I have yet to find a method for
executing a program from a Win32 that doesn't wait for
the child to die. I have tried various fork methods as
well as Proc methods and Win32::Job and threads. All
of these methods require that the parent, or calling
program wait until the spawn's program dies. I of
course just want to launch the install app and let the
user exit the install shield. This has to be doable
right?

Thank you.
