You guys have all been realy realy good help. To asnwer a few questions, I have no clue what a deamon process is and I do have access to the webserver, it's in my room. To answer AcidHawk's question,

No, I am not looking for the output in the webpage.

The program is a perl script.

I could us a form with method post, but i don't know what that would accomplish since i'm not sending data to the perl script and I want the perl script to run even when i close the webpage.

I will take a look at Win32::Process and Win32::Spawn and see, but I don't know why I couldn't. I just don't know what they are.
