Well, i have done hardly any win32 perl programming, so i can't be sure
that this will work on win32. but it's worth a shot.
use the system command. the first argument you pass it is the name of the
program, and the following arguments are the arguments to the program. so:
system "program.exe","arg1","arg2";
