Re: Console-less Tk?

 My experience was different. The console window did indeed come up, and wouldn't go away till I quit the application.   Is there perhaps a configuration setting I am missing? ----- Original Message ----- From: Dahlke, Doug To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, September 30, 2002 11:42 Subject: RE: Console-less Tk? When I run the Tk demo from the perl development kit, widget.bat or widget, I don't get a console. when I run that app..  you may want to look at that. -----Original Message----- From: Wiley Hacker [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, September 30, 2002 10:48 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Console-less Tk? Folks:   I know this is probably a FAQ, but I couldn't find an answer to this on the regular Perl newsgroups, so I thought I'd ask.   On UNIX, I used to create a daemon process using two fork()'s and an exec(). I used that technique to successfully create Perl/Tk programs that didn't have a console window, thereby appearing like "true" GUI programs.   Of course, fork() doesn't quite work as advertised on Windows using ActivePerl.   My question is: Is there a way to create a Perl/Tk program using ActivePerl on Windows 2000 that does not have a console window?   I know about the Win32::Process:Create method from comp.lang.perl.modules. Is there another, simpler way?   Thanks in advance. Wiley
