#!/usr/bin/env perl use warnings; use strict; use 5.012; use IPC::System::Simple qw(system);

system( 'xterm', '-geometry', '80x25-5-5', '-bg', 'green', '&' );

say "Hello";
say "World";

I tried this to run the xterm-command in the background, but it doesn't work:

No absolute path found for shell: &

What would be the right way to make it work?
