I mean..the bool return is changing correctly when an & is found?
Im not saying it's the best thing to be using....but for a shell such as this (being extremely simple) it's only meant for maybe 5 to 6 string characters on a line.
but about the background process. I saw another thread here

that was almost the exact same thing, so maybe I could modify my while(cmd[0] != NULL) loop to do this? or my execute function?

browser::open
Browser::Open(3) User Contributed Perl Documentation Browser::Open(3)
NAME
Browser::Open - open a browser in a given URL
VERSION
version 0.03
SYNOPSIS
use Browser::Open qw( open_browser );
### Try commands specific to the current Operating System
my $ok = open_browser($url);
# ! defined($ok): no recognized command found
# $ok == 0: command found and executed
# $ok != 0: command found, error while executing
### Try all known commands
my $ok = open_browser($url, 1);
DESCRIPTION
The functions optionaly exported by this module allows you to open URLs in the user browser.
A set of known commands per OS-name is tested for presence, and the first one found is executed. With an optional parameter, all known
commands are checked.
The "open_browser" uses the "system()" function to execute the command. If you want more control, you can get the command with the
"open_browser_cmd" or "open_browser_cmd_all" functions and then use whatever method you want to execute it.
API
All functions are not exported by default. You must ask for them explicitly.
open_browser
my $ok = open_browser($url, $all);
Find an appropriate command and executes it with your $url. If $all is false, the default, only commands that match the current OS will be
tested. If true, all known commands will be tested.
If no command was found, returns "undef".
If a command is found, returns the exit code of the execution attempt, 0 for success. See the "system()" for more information about this
exit code.
If no $url is given, an exception will be thrown: "Missing required parameter $url".
open_browser_cmd
my $cmd = open_browser_cmd();
Returns the best command found to open a URL on your system.
If no command was found, returns "undef".
open_browser_cmd_all
my $cmd = open_browser_cmd_all();
Returns the first command found to open a URL.
If no command was found, returns "undef".
