perl -v

I don't have windows handy but I think you just use wperl foo.pl instead of perl foo.pl. Also do a search on this site for "hide command prompt" and you'll probably see many other suggestions.

Thanks for explaining wperl :) it works almost perfectly. I am using system to open a process and that command prompt does pop up...how can I create that with wperl also? It still pops open when it creates the other process for half a second and then closes. :) my other question is, is there a perl script I can write that will automatically assosiate an extension beisded pl to wperl...like make the file foo.wl for wperl and foo.pl for perl. do you know what i mean? thanks a bunch :)	[reply]
