I'm guessing that was probably my post from a few months ago to the PerlQt 
site - in fact you can fork without X problems if you're careful. 

IIRC I had a callback installed that logged to a window, and whenever the 
forked process logged, nasty things happened - my fault entirely :)

In summary - don't dismiss fork before trying it - it's worked fine for me 
ever since!
