Ooops...... is this problem still not yet solved ?! :-( Hmmm..... I don't know if this is OT of not, but seems that would be a problem for Win32 beginners need to deal with....
If a dosprompt is too difficult to deal with, let's return to the idea of using "double click". You'll say, the screen disappear immediately, right, but you can make it not to disappear. Start -> Run -> "dosprmpt" -> Enter You will see either the full black screen, or a window of dosprmpt If you see the full black screen, press Alt-Enter to make it become a window. Then there are some buttons on the top of the window, one of it is option ( A finger point to a paper ), click it. A properties panel then appear, In the program tab, uncheck the box Close.... ( X ), and apply it. The screen will not goes off when next time you double click on your perl files after end.
