Well it sounds like you want your script to act like a service (in Windows terminology) or Daemon (*nix terminology). In that case, check out Win32::Daemon. Good luck, Trix	[reply]

You could also have the program relaunch itself without console window, using Win32::Process. See They didn't give me a fork so I have to eat with a spawn. for code that could serve as a working example.	[reply]

You might want to look at Scheduled Tasks and `wperl`	[reply] [d/l]
