You could use a double fork on Unix to cause the parent to disown the child. There's some info on how to do this in perlfaq8 (look for "daemon" or "background"). I do not know how current that FAQ is. You can also look for daemon, process, and IPC modules on CPAN for doing this.
Cheers.

Hello,
Google is not being friendly to me today. What do you guys do to stop a child process from being killed on termination of a parent process in perl? I would prefer to not do a `nohup $shellCall`, so if you have an alternative, I am all ears!
Thanks,
- Nick
