print PDF?	Can't Post

How can I print (hard copy) of a pdf file using perl on windows?

Using windows, I can manually drag a pdf file to a printer shortcut. The file is printed with the default pdf "viewer". Can I automate this operation with perl?
Good Luck,
Bill

Thanks a lot! The code you suggest works perfectly. I do not yet understand the windows magic in it, but I plan to try.
Good Luck,
Bill
