Re: Re: Re: Perl for the Masses

The only thing I added was Win32::GUI to hide the console window. The code is fairly clean and easy to understand (Running does generate many spurious uninitialized warnings though).
I thought the windows version ran using wperl and thus had no console window. At least the 0.17.3 version does that if you choose the "Run POPFile in Background" option.

Remember to send feedback esp changes/patches to the sourceforge project contacts - as it says in the Readme it is supposed to run cleanly with no warnings so please feedback those "spurious unitialized warnings"

I planned to submit the patch for hiding the console, though I didn't read the README. Thanks for pointing the warning issue out. I'll pass it along as well. -Lee "To be civilized is to deny one's nature."	[reply]

I didn't catch the wperl reference the first time I read this. I installed the Cross Platform version. 0.17.6 ( I assumed the Win version was a Perl2exe or similar so I didn't bother), so the windows version might very well use wperl. -Lee "To be civilized is to deny one's nature."	[reply]

You're right dingus, adding "Run POPFile in Background" to the Windows Startup folder, runs without even flashing the console window even briefly, at least on my system. Jon	[reply]
