Running a perl script in the background on Windows

[Stephen M]

If i want to run a perl script in Windows from Task Scheduler every few minutes.

Is there an option to run it without displaying in a dos type window?

Thanks
Stephen

Presuming you are running the ActiveState installation of Perl, just use
wperl.exe instead of perl.exe to run the script. No command-line window
will be associated with it.

Use a .pif file to execute your program.

Very easy to create through your task feature.
Configuration information on this is available
at many sites via a search engine. This is
the most efficient method available and allows
for a wide range of options.
