Yes, there is a Perl executable called Wperl just for this purpose. Create a batch file in notepad with the following contents and save it as STARTPF.BAT
C:\ CD C:\POPFILE\ WPERL.EXE POPFILE.PL EXIT
Modify the path for your particular configuration. Running this command will start POPFile in the background.
Note: Running Perl in the background using Wperl will hide any errors that would normally display in the DOS box when you are having problems.
