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

When I run Tk GUI script, I would like the command window closed. That is the window where I type "perl -w blah.pl".

Doesn't matter whether involve coding, preferablely no coding.

I am looking for something like javaw in Java.

If you're on Windows you can use wperl, which does exactly what you want. On Unix you can just run perl as a background process.	[reply]

I use wperl as well but just FYI there are some other solutions- What About the Console Window?, I can't comment on their veracity however :) -- Murray Barton Do not seek to follow in the footsteps of the wise. Seek what they sought. -Basho	[reply]

In Windows I often use shortcuts to launch Tk apps so I can drag and drop onto them. You can hide the window by setting the shortcut property "Run:" to "Minimized". Perl is Huffman encoded by design.	[reply]
