How to execute a script using ssh

[ksn2007]

Hi All,
I have a perl script which runs forever.I want to run it from another machine with ssh. The command i gave is
ssh user@host perl myscript.perl
The command is ok for the scripts which have little execution time.But the problem is,the command i gave is waiting for the completion of execution of the script(ssh not exiting as the process is running).I want the command to just start the execution of the script and come out.
Please help me in this.
Thanks,
KSN

I have a somewhat comparable situation. The obvious solution (to me) was to create a script on the "host" machine that just fired off the main script as a detached process. For example, a script "startmyscript. sh":

#! /bin/sh
perl myscript.pl &
exit

You can call it with

ssh user@host startmyscript.sh

Then ssh can disconnect and exit.
