If you are contemplating doing this, read about it first. (The Perl community has a lot of good documentation about this and other security issues in script-like programs. The &key arguments have the following meanings: :environment An alist of STRINGs (name . value) describing new environment values that replace existing ones. :clear-env If non-NIL, the current environment is cleared before the values supplied by :environment are inserted. :wait If non-NIL, which is the default, wait until the created process finishes.
