Win32's Perl 5.6.1 does have an emulated fork(), though. Is there something wrong with that?
Yup. If you try to fork and "spawn" off a bunch of system() calls, you get "Resource temporarily unavailable" after some fairly small number of forks (maybe 20?). With Win32::Process::CreateProcess, you don't run into that problem.
