Re: Running on DOS without the DOS box?

Here's a solution that doesn't require ActivePerl:

use strict;
use Win32::GUI;

my $Window = Win32::GUI::GetPerlWindow();

sleep(5);
Win32::GUI::Hide($Window);
sleep(5);
Win32::GUI::Show($Window);

Pretty cool, huh? You can also obtain the handle to any other window on the desktop,
and show/hide them at will.

The other solution does not require ActivePerl. The wperl executable comes on all windows perls.	[reply]
