in reply to Run Perl in Task scheduler to eliminate screensaver

Also try using wperl.exe instead of perl.exe to launch it and you will not get the dos box. That is if you have the ActiveState version of Perl

Though you would have to write the code to control it, either give it a systray icon or just simply kill it in task manager. But if you do not have screen saver access you probably do not have full task manager access.

    That is if you have the ActiveState version of Perl
    or any other version of win32 perl (unless you delete it, wperl is there on windows).

    I run a Win32 PPM repository for perl 5.6.x and 5.8.x -- I take requests (README).
