Did you try wrapping your perl code in M$ batch code and making it a
.bat file instead of a .pl file? for example:
============== start of wrapping.bat ==============
@rem & @echo off
@perl -x -S "%0" %1 %2 %3 %4 %5 %6 %7 %8 %9
@goto EndOfPerl
@rem ';
#!/perl -w
#Sec=$T[0],M=1,H=2, mDay=3,Mon=4,Yr=5, wDay=6,yDay=7, isdst=8
@T=localtime(time); $T[4]++; $T[5]=1900+$T[5];
$DTS="$T[5]/$T[4]/$T[3]-$T[2]:$T[1]";
print "\nIt's $DTS, you just ran $0, check it out.\n\n";
__END__
:EndOfPerl
@pause
============== end of wrapping.bat ==============
