As I understand things, e.g:
http://www.endcontsw.com/people/evangelo/Perl_for_Win32_FAQ_5.html
NT does not have the equivalent of the Unix fork() command. This is a
shame because fork() is a very useful syscall. I guess the NT designers
figured people would always use sexier threads? Oh well...
Anyway, I haven't looked at the script, but there is no reason in
principle the fork() has to be done. Without fork() the script has to
complete the transaction before going back to listening. More prone to
blocking of course, but it might be pretty usable if you don't have alot
of hosts running deschall. The transactions are usually very short and
sweet.
So maybe add a -nofork flag and feature to the script?
