Anonymous Monk has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question: (programs and processes)

HI,I want to run a piece of code (i.e A subroutine) in my script and the main code will not wait for his done.
The main code should go on and will not be care of whether the subroutine run correctly.
I don't want to use fork(),because child process occupy too many memory.Is there a way?
Thank you!
