For demonstration, try this... I'm having trouble explaining my situation hehehehe

# myscript.pl #
# script must be run in a terminal #
use Gtk2 '-init';
my $window = Gtk2::Window->new();
$window->signal_connect( destroy => sub { exit } );
my $button = Gtk2::Button->new("click me to close");
$button->signal_connect('clicked'=> sub { exit } );
$window->add($button);
$window->show_all();
Gtk2->main;

next is the main code

# main.pl #
my $k = 0;
while($k < 3){
    system("gnome-terminal -e 'perl myscript.pl'");
    $k++;
}

if i ran main.pl it call the script 3x then ends... yet the first myscript.pl has not yet finished running... it waits for you to press the button... what i wanted to do is... open the 1st myscript.pl then wait for somebody to press it... then if somebody presses it, another myscript.pl would run again.. then so on..
