Odd session / exec / header problem

Hello, I'm exec'ing an perl script and placing it in the background then redirecting. This works fine except when I fire up a session. Eg: <? exec("/bin/myscript.pl &"); header("Location: someplace.com"); exit; ?> Works as it should -- the redirection takes place without waiting for the perl script to finish. However... <? session_start(); exec("/bin/myscript.pl &"); header("Location: someplace.com"); exit; ?> Waits for the script to finish before redirecting. Not what I need. Any ideas? Thanks in advance! -Jason -- .--- .- ... --- -. / -- --- .-. . .... --- ..- ... .
