I was hoping there was a simple command string option that would permit
PovRay to run in the background and return me to the program. Do you
know if such an option is available in 3.5? In the Unix version (PovRay 1.0)
I was
returned to my Perl program, but, in the Windows version the image is
rendered and a BMP file is output, but, I'm not returned to the program.

There is a caution on the PovRay web site about switching to 3.5 over
3.1.  I wasn't sure that files created in 3.1 were compatible with 3.5.

The string below is my command string (Perl5)

system "c:\\Povray31\\bin\\pvengine.exe -D -P -GA +X +A /EXIT
+Lc:\\Povray31\\Include +Ic:\\Perl5\\$prefix.pov +Oc:\\Perl5\\$prefix.bmp
+W500 +H900 +FS"

PovRay runs, creates the BMP file, but, does not execute the next Perl5
command.  Any thoughts?

Thanks for your interest...Bob
