Getting rid of the cmd window 1

[Edge118]

Hi,

I am using:

system("start $command") and die $!,$?,$^E;

This code opens up a separate command screen from the main process and runs independent of it. I have this code in a loop so there are about 4 cmd screens open at once. The question I have is: Is there a way to make it so the cmd screens don't pop up and instead are invisible and exit after the command is completed?

Thanks.

I take it you are using windows?

Are you running the main process from a command window or a Perl/Tk widget? Anyways I have used "wPerl" with Perl/Tk to eliminate the command window for the main process. The "wPerl" file is available in ActiveState Perl package. To use it, just associate the shortcut for your Perl/Tk application with "wperl.exe" instead of "perl.exe".
