I can do some regex.  But I haven't a clue about how to color matched
words or if it can be done on Windows.  I know the Vim editor can do
that.  But I want to accomplish it on STDOUT using Perl.
STDOUT is what normally prints to the command prompt screen, right?

Yup, STDOUT is to the screen, unless reassigned.
As for printing in colour - I don't believe that the windows command processor, ie cmd.exe, is capable of printing in colour. You could install Cygwin(some unix tools for windows) & use bash(an alternative shell) in place of the standard windows shell, that may work.

Hope thats of some help
