    Thanks for your answer, but it doesn answer my question at all !

    I'm already running wperl with no problem, except that I need to run a cmd command from it and it always opens an annoying console window just to launch the start command which is immediately exiting.

    This is this case I'm trying to solve...

      But the linked thread looks good to me.

      Did you look into it and try all listed options?

        Yes I did read the threads.

        But my problem is not hiding the console while running a Perl script : I do that by running wperl.

        I just want to run a windows command to display a PDF file FROM wperl that doesn't open a console but only the reader (ie. Internet Explorer).
