Re: Win32::Process::Hide did not return true value

I think that error (or is it merely a warning ?) is normally avoided by adding 1; below the end of the code in the .pm file. That is, in Hide.pm, try changing:

Win32::Process::Hide::HideProcess();
__END__
[download]

Win32::Process::Hide::HideProcess();
1;
__END__
[download]

Cheers,
Rob

I think that error (or is it merely a warning ?) is normally avoided by adding 1; FWIW, it does this by design, when it fails to hide perl.exe, it doesn't return true, so require warns	[reply]

Thanks for your reply, but even after adding 1; at the end of Hide.pm at location "C:\strawberry\cpan\build\Win32-Process-Hide-1.85-ADEtkQ\lib\Win32\Process\" & all other sub-directories of "C:\strawberry\cpan\build\Win32-Process-Hide-1.85-ADEtkQ\" but still receiving the same error. Any Other suggestions?	[reply]

Just tried the same code in Windows XP worked fine for Win32::Process::Hide but still the process was the TaskManager. Any other suggestions on how to hide the process from windows or hide it from other processes like running in a VM of its own.	[reply]
