Greetings, fellow monks.

I'm programming a script that runs on my Win2K and I've created an icon to run it with a mouse click (my idea is to run on my computer startup).

Is there any chance run this script without the black DOS window?

One solution that I've found was to use PAR's pp to run it like an executable, but the size of my file increased a lot (from 17Kb to 1.78Mb!) and the amount of memory that the script uses also increased (from ~6Mb to ~9Mb)...

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance...

my ($author_nickname, $author_email) = ("DaWolf","erabbott\@terra.com.br") if ($author_name eq "Er Galvão Abbott");
