On windows, some applications expect there to be a console.
When you are in a console, none pops up because you already
have one. In modperl mode you see it pop up :(
If you want to make that console go away I believe there is
something you can do to a windows executable to take away
the console requirement if it has one, but I can't remember
off the top of my head. I would check with the ActiveState
perl win32 lists.
