in reply to Suppressing Console in PerlApp Script

Add this line to the top of your PerlTray application: 
    Win32::SetChildShowWindow(0) if defined &Win32::SetChildShowWindow
+;

[download]
It should hide all applications started by system() if your version of Perl includes Win32::SetChildShowWindow(). It definitely is included in ActivePerl build 633 and later.

    EXCELLENT!!!
    For the record, build 631 doesn't have it. I upgraded to 635 and it works just fine without bringing up the console window.
    Thank YOU!

    Excellent! It also works with a standard app and not compiled by the way ;)
