for finer control over processes, check out Proc::Simple
Please note that sub calc () is a subroutine, and not a process.

If you are calling this subroutine from some other place, then the regular behavior is what you have described:
Code:
#!/usr/bin/perl
# sub_trial.pl
use strict;
sub calc ()
{
    print "in calc() now ... \n";
    sleep 10;  # wait for 10 seconds
      # or do something here
}
print "we're in main script ... \n";
calc ();
print "and continued ... \n";

soapsh.pl

SOAPSH(1)						User Contributed Perl Documentation						 SOAPSH(1)

NAME

       SOAPsh.pl - Interactive shell for SOAP calls

SYNOPSIS

	 perl SOAPsh.pl http://services.soaplite.com/examples.cgi http://www.soaplite.com/My/Examples
	 > getStateName(2)
	 > getStateNames(1,2,3,7)
	 > getStateList([1,9])
	 > getStateStruct({a=>1, b=>24})
	 > Ctrl-D (Ctrl-Z on Windows)

       or

	 # all parameters after uri will be executed as methods
	 perl SOAPsh.pl http://soap.4s4c.com/ssss4c/soap.asp http://simon.fell.com/calc doubler([10,20,30])
	 > Ctrl-D (Ctrl-Z on Windows)

DESCRIPTION

       SOAPsh.pl is a shell for making SOAP calls. It takes two parameters: mandatory endpoint and optional uri (actually it will tell you about
       it if you try to run it). Additional commands can follow.

       After that you'll be able to run any methods of SOAP::Lite, like autotype, readable, encoding, etc. You can run it the same way as you do
       it in your Perl script. You'll see output from method, result of SOAP call, detailed info on SOAP faulure or transport error.

       For full list of available methods see documentation for SOAP::Lite.

       Along with methods of SOAP::Lite you'll be able (and that's much more interesting) run any SOAP methods you know about on remote server and
       see processed results. You can even switch on debugging (with call something like: "on_debug(sub{print@_})") and see SOAP code with headers
       sent and recieved.
