Hello Mr. Roth:
Yes, I'm interested. Please let me know what you have in mind. Also,
regarding my perplexing problem, I think I may have found out what the real
problem is. It seems that when a user logs on, the use of the Runh.exe program
adds a couple of seconds to the time it takes the logon script to run.
Since the OS doesn't wait for logon scripts to finish executing before giving
the user a shell, the drive-mappings created by the logon script are not
"in-place" when the user's startup program begins (and this startup program
relies on a particular drive mapping).
So, the solution I will be trying tomorrow is to use PolEdit to set the
"Default Computer->System->Logon->Run logon scripts synchronously" check box
(this setting also appears under "Windows NT System->Logon"). What this
(supposedly) does is to wait for the logon scripts to complete before starting
the user's shell.
In any event, I would still appreciate any tips/tricks regarding the Perl
console. Thanks.

Alternatively there are some tricks you can use to minimize and even hide
the normal perl.exe console. They require the use of Win32::API. Let me know
if you are interested.

Try to run the script with c:\perl\bin\wPerl.exe
That one should not create the console, but otherwise it's just the
normal perl interpreter.
