Create a ticket, #112382, the url is:
https://rt.perl.org/rt3//Public/Bug/Display.html?id=112382

Update the patch, to support if xterm exists, then use it; if xterm 
doesn't exist, then try terminal emulation applications one bye one, use 
the first application that we find.

I have test on linux system, the ForkTerm option works well.
