Here's some more info, digging a little deeper.  First, there seems to be a "stealth" packag
e called IProcess, at:
  http://idnopheq.perlmonk.org/perl/packages/x86/Win32/
I don't know exactly what it does, but usenet posting seem to imply that it has this functio
nality.

Then on CPAN, we have:
  http://search.cpan.org/author/GSAR/libwin32-0.191/Process/Process.pm
and some others:
  http://search.cpan.org/search?query=win32%3A%3Aprocess&mode=all

If I figure it out, I'll post here.
