PAR and console window on Win32

Anonymous Monk has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

I've noticed when creating executables for windows using PAR I see a second process for the *.exe file in the task manager (assuming this is the console window) Does anyone know of a way to avoid this? perlapp from ActiveState is able to do this. I've tried using the wperl in place of perl when building the exe and also using the --gui option.

Any ideas?

Could you show us an example of how you are creating the exe? Have you read How do I make a .exe that runs with no console window under Windows? using pp? Hope this helps. Martin	[reply]

I have and this is exactly what I'm doing, and I've also tried the following: `pp --gui --icon test.ico -o file.exe file.pl tkpp --gui --icon test.ico -o file.exe file.pl pp --gui -o file.exe file.pl tkpp --gui -o file.exe file.pl` [download] I never see the console window but I do see a second PID with the same name in the task manager and I assumed it was a hidden console window.

Does anyone know of a way to avoid this? Avoid using PAR, or fix PAR.	[reply]
