On an Apache 2.0.x we are calling a exec_shell or system from inside PHP to kick off a perl script. The perl script forks off a child process and returns immediately; the php hangs until the child process ends.

In Apache 1.3.27 the code works works fine; I can start a background process and the webpage is returned instantly. I can start as many background processes as I want.

How can I get it to work in 2.
