Hi

I am trying to write a perl program which schedules a job periodically.
In between jobs, the program sleeps. So, if I run the program, I can see
the dos window sitting on my desktop.

Is there a way to run my program in the background in dos without me
seeing a dos window, like what UNIX is capable of.
