Indeed. Or you can call Win32`::SetChildShowWindow( 0 )` prior to calling system. But mention of the CGI aspect of the problem in the OP would have been nice. And why a flicker on a (usually unattended) webserver screen is a problem. Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error.
