Execute a sub in the background
|
Can't Post

Hello guys,
I really really need your help fast.
I'm doing a project and I have no idea how to do something.
Here is the deal.
I have a while cycle where i read every key pressed. When i press 'Enter' i want to execute a sub which has a while cycle in it but also there is a sleep in it.
Here is some example code :
do
{
if($key eq "\n")
#execute sub_example()
if($key eq "261)
#do something else
while ((key = getch()) ne ERR)
sub_example
{
do
{#.......
sleep 5# i really need to sleep it here
#....
while(...}
}
So my issue is that when i execute sub_example the program freezes and waits for the cycle in the sub to finish. I want it to run in the background and still have the possibility to read from the keyboard and do stuff.
Thank you very much for your help i really needed.
