Hi
The following works for me on a WinXP Pro box:
use Win32::Shortcut;
use strict;
use warnings;
my $link = Win32::Shortcut->new();
$link->{'Path'} = 'C:\Documents and Settings\jim\My Documents\google_m
+aps.txt';
$link->{'WorkingDirectory'} = 'C:\Documents and Settings\jim\My Docume
+nts';
$link->{'ShowCmd'} = SW_SHOWNORMAL;
$link->Save('C:/Documents and Settings/jim/Desktop/google_maps.lnk');
$link->Close();
I created two links on my desktop, one the "normal" way, one with the script. They are of different sizes:
C:\Documents and Settings\jim\Desktop>dir *.lnk
Volume in drive C is mecano
Volume Serial Number is 84B7-29B9
Directory of C:\Documents and Settings\jim\Desktop
07.26.05 12:35 PM 648 google_maps.lnk
07.26.05 12:24 PM 594 Shortcut to Google_maps.txt.lnk
but seem the same on visual inspection. Both open the text file correctly without an additional prompt.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
