How do I make a shortcut for a Perl program under Windows using a DOS batch file?
- by Micah
I'm trying to "hide" some of my perl program from the end user to make things easier on them. I'm doing what I can to keep them out of the command prompt. The program itself has a GUI designed in Perl/Tk, so they don't have to worry about the command prompt.
Could I write out a quick batch file that goes along the lines of:
START perl 'C:\[some path here]\myscript.pl'
with START to start a program, the perl interpretor as my program, and the path/name of my perl script as the parameter?
Would I have to specify where to find perl or would Windows just know because perl is in the computer's PATH variable?
Thanks for the help!
