Invoke your program through the wperl.exe rather than the perl.exe. Saving your code as .wpl file instead of .pl file can be the most direct forward thing to do to solve this.

In case the extension association is not set then you may need to define a new file type for .wpl as wperl scripts for you to be able to use your program without a console..but first of all try this at the top of your code #!/usr/local/bin/wperl to point to the wperl executable and see what happens otherwise there are many ways to do this, consider:

• Tk and the command line window.
• perl in the background under windows?.
