Calling Windows commands without dosbox

[Cambridge10]

Hi,

I'm using perl Tk and I have to call a couple of Windows commands but they are executed in a dosbox.

I want to prevent a dosbox is opened or at least hidden for the user. Is there any way to prevent that?

A dosbox is opened :
system ("test.txt|p erl prep|afbreek.ex e|klank.exe|per l kleur >output.pho") ;
system ("mbrola nl3 output.pho output.wav");

Have a look at use Win32::Process.

Here is a sample I found after a quick search.

#!/usr/bin/perl -w

use strict;
use Win32;
use Win32::Process;

# Create the process object.

Win32::Process::Create($Win32::Process::Create::ProcessObj,
     "C:\\perl\\bin\\Perl.exe",              # Where Perl is located.
     "perl c:\\yourdir\\yourTKscript.pl",    #
     0,                                      # Don't Inherit
     DETACHED_PROCESS,                       #
     ".") or                                 # current directory
     die print_error();			     # 
     sub print_error(){			     #
         return Win32::FormatMessage(Win32::GetLastError() );
         }

$Win32::Process::Create::ProcessObj -> Resume();
