title: Running PuTTY -m in background (no window wanted)
body: <p>I am running PuTTY from a Perl script using the system command (Windows 7).  I use the <code>-m</code> command line option and it works great, but I do not want a window popping up. It's a short lived session, so it is annoying having the window open up for a second to make the connection and then close.</p>
  
  <p>I searched <em>"windows background"</em> <em>"putty background"</em> and many other variations. I got close but no cigar.  The thread "Run putty jobs...MATLAB"  Was oh so close, but I was already doing that.</p>
