[LA.pm] does system() wait?

[cch2cch at netscape.net]

Hi,

I  am running activePerl 5.6 on win98se. When I run these statements:

system("...realplayer  song1.mp3");
system("...realplayer  song2.mp3");
system("...realplayer song3.mp3");

I expect the three songs to be played in sequence. Instead only song3 is
played. It seems all three system() function are executed but one
overrides the other. I  believe Perl waits for system() to  finish  
before continuing. Is it not so in the PC environment? Thanks
