Elder Monks,

I have designed a nice little GUI app with ActiveState & TK. It runs well under both Linux & Win32. But when I run it under Win32, an unsightly DOS window pops up just underneath the GUI interface.

The title bar of the window is the full path of the perl.exe executable. I have looked for command-line options and various other tricks to hide the window. No luck. I would prefer to see no window at all, but would settle for at least having it minimized. Is there any way to do that?

Thank you.

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).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
