Supressing MS-Dos Window when running a PERL exe

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

Hi, I create PERL scripts in windows environment and later convert them to standalone executable using PERL2EXE. But when I run the executable, the MS-DOS prompt flashes for a couple of seconds on the screen and vanishes. Is there a way through which I can supress the display of DOS window during the execution? Thanks in advance.

This is, as you would expected, detailed in the perl2exe documentation. Look at the `-gui` option. Martin	[reply] [d/l]

In addition to what marto said, there's one bit of difference (literally) between a Windows program and a console (AKA "DOS") program. And ActivePerl, for one, includes a script to flip that bit: exetype. This is how wperl.exe is created out of plain perl.exe This is what perl2exe's own -gui option (which at least you used to have to pay extra for) does.	[reply]
