Directly executing the standard perl.exe from Windows causes a command console to pop up. I've had it before in other distros but it would be super handy to execute completely headless Perl scripts with Cygwin access. Anyone know how I could build it or how to get it added to the distro? Or make it its own package? Thanks. -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
