Basically on opening, platon displays in a dialog window what it is doing (number crunching). Once finished the perl program can only continue onto the next calculation if the dialog window is closed.
I don't want to open lots of separate windows because I have 100's of files which go through the same calculation. Hence I need to close each new dialog window as it appears.
I am new to perl, so could all suggestions please be simple as possible.
thanks harry
