I found that if you want to execute something in background, you have to use *both* & and
>/dev/null. Maybe this is true only in some special situations, anyway my perl script wasn't
executed in background until I did this:
exec("myperlscript.pl parameters >/dev/null &");
Btw: refers to php3 on a Linux system.
