thank you dree, although i'm very familiar with win32 api because i've been programming in vb/c++ for about five years. this is an approach i didn't want to take. | [reply] [Watch: Dir/Any] |
The thread shows you more than 1 way to do it. There is not only the Win32::API way but also the wperl way, the "detached process" suggested by Nitrox and so on.
Also, you can look inside of the PAR module: it has a --gui option that works on Win32 machines to start perl exe without showing the console window.
