whats the best cross-platform way to launch another script from a tk
program in a non-blocking manner? Id like to use Config.pm for starters,
it doesnt block my tk app on my system but what about other systems?

You can either use Tk::fileevent (which is a standard part of pTk) or
Tk::ExecuteCommand (which you need to fetch from CPAN.org).

perldoc Tk::fileevent

for more info.
