    I am trying to write a cgi script that executes a piece of perl code
    (including a system call that may take several minutes to complete the
    executed task). I would like to display a message with a link to retrieve
    the results of a system call to the web browser while the remaining perl
    code is executed (inc the system calls) so the browser doesn't timeout. I
    understand that this can be done on a linux machine using fork (does anyone
    have a snippet of code as an example?), but i would also like to make the
    scripts platform independent (or at least windows compatable) so the website
    can be run from a windows or linux machine....how could i do something
    similar for a windows machine (does anyone have any example code)?

    Any help is appeciated as i have not done any work regarding forking
    processes before!

    Thanks
    Nathan
