Answering my own question

I found I could do this by saving the rebase command-line and file list
that rebaseall generates and then running the rebase command directly
from the DOS prompt. Now Perl's Win32::Shortcut and fork work together!
Thanks for the hint.
Nevertheless, there does seem to be a problem with the rebaseall.
