in reply to Tk on Win32 - how to avoid background console window

I assume you're on Windows (if I'm right, please update your node title to reflect this). In that case, you can use exetype to create a "guiperl" version of the perl runtime that will not open a console window.

    I can legitimately claim to have written the first version of exetype. In REXX, for IBM under OS/2, circa 1988!

    Yes it is on Windows. It looks like for exectype to work you already need a .exe. I only have my .pl thanks
