  I'm guessing this is an issue with the Perl version you're using.

  fork() wasn't supported on older Perl releases, activestate added it
 and had a few problems with early releases.

  If there's a newer activestate perl out I'd recommend trying to
 upgrade.  But short of that I cannot really suggest anything useful
 all I can do is say it works for me (tm) on Windows 2000.
