executing a background script from embedded perl

[Kingsley Foreman]

Hi guys just wondering if  you could run
exec("sleep 200 &") in an embedded perl script and let nginx keep doing its 
thing.

Obviously sleep is just an example however i don't appear to be able to run 
a program in the background.
the nginx process waits until the backgrounded script completes before 
continuing.
