I think you should use Win32::Process. I beleive it can force the application to become visible. You are staring this process remotely? If so this is a common problem. Win32::Process is very well covered in Dave Roths TSE book. You can download the source from his web site to see the code but the book fills in a lot of blanks.
Also you could try using psexec from sysinternals.com. The latest version dos what you need.
