I don't even know what wperl is, although it does look like it's part of
my current perl install (I have never heard of it before now). In any
event, it's not an option for us since most of our stuff runs in the
context of the perlSE.dll (ActiveScript engine).

I believe this corresponds to this process creation flag (from MSDN docs):
----
CREATE_NO_WINDOW
0x08000000
The process is a console application that is being run without a console
window. Therefore, the console handle for the application is not set.
This flag is ignored if the application is not a console application, or
if it is used with either CREATE_NEW_CONSOLE or DETACHED_PROCESS.
----
I'm really looking for something that works more generally (for console
and non-console apps alike). In older versions of the win32 API, I'm
pretty sure there was a field in the STARTUPINFO that allowed the caller
to request the app be started mimimized, but the current docs don't show
such an option.
Perhaps my best bet it to try to call ShowWindow directly ??
