I vaguely remember that fork() does a subroutine call and does not actually
launch another task. If you use backtick instead (as in `runme.exe
/option=param` or rather `perl.exe yetanotherscript.pl`), your called script
will run concurrently with the caller, so that the caller can keep taking
care of the GUI. That is, as far as I remember ... it might be altogether
totally different.
