I am using strawberry perl 5.12.1.0 on top of Windows 7, sp1.
I have a perl program that produces a pdf file, using PDF::Create,  I
want to be able, using the same program, to print that file.  I know
that I can launch Adobe Reader to view the file, using <system "/
Progra~2/Adobe/Reader~1.0/Reader/AcroRd32.exe  $outfile";>, and then
to print it, from Adobe's window.

I want to print the file from my perl program without launching Adobe
Reader.

I note that the file can be printed from within windows explorer by
right clicking on the file and choosing print.  How can I do the same
thing from within perl?

I would like to be able to print any file that I can print from the
windows explorer window.

I realize that this may not be the most appropriate forum, but I don't
know a better one, so please don't be rough with me.  And thanks in
advance.
