Hi,
If it helps, I find that the following will produce a new cmd process and
window that is completely independent of perl (and any other processes).
Win32::Process::Create($ProcessObj,
"C:\\winnt\\system32\\cmd.exe",
"",
0,
CREATE_NEW_CONSOLE,
".") or die "Errors";
It has taken me quite a while (coz of stupidity) to work out how to have
that new console appear with a perl program running in it - but here it is:
$cmdline = "/k perl hello.pl";
Win32::Process::Create($ProcessObj,
"C:\\winnt\\system32\\cmd.exe",
$cmdline,
0,
CREATE_NEW_CONSOLE,
".") or die "Errors";
That will create the new console, entirely non-dependent upon any perl
processes - and with the output of 'hello.pl' displayed - or,with the
program running, if 'hello.pl' happens to be a continously running program.
For information on the structure of $cmdline, see Windows 'cmd' Help.
Cheers,
Rob
