The processes for non-cygwin binaries cannot be mapped to a cygwin
process. Therefore you will not see the process with the ps command.
You might use the CreateProcess function instead and use the handle
returned by it to control the window/process created.

That's not quite right. David, are you using a non-cygwin perl,
like ActiveState? If that is the case that is likely your problem.
The system command probably uses command.com/cmd.exe to execute commands
and at least command.com does not wait for win32 gui processes to
complete.
If you are using a cygwin perl, my guess is that IE starts another
process
that is *not* mapped by cygwin. Try using lynx or wget.

I'm launching processes from Perl scripts using backticks and the system
command, and it seems that Windows is stealing my processes from me
sometimes. Although the application is running, and the window is visible,
I look for the process with "ps -ef", and it is nowhere to be found. Where
did it go?
What I'm doing is automating IExplorer launches to retrieve http documents.
Once I have the documents, though, I need to kill the window, otherwise my
screen starts filling up with hundreds of icons.
Any clues?

I'm launching processes from Perl scripts using backticks and the system
command, and it seems that Windows is stealing my processes from me
sometimes. Although the application is running, and the window is visible,
I look for the process with "ps -ef", and it is nowhere to be found. Where
did it go?
What I'm doing is automating IExplorer launches to retrieve http documents.
Once I have the documents, though, I need to kill the window, otherwise my
screen starts filling up with hundreds of icons.
Any clues?
