This was the script running. Go to Start run and type "cmd" run it.
Then type the path name to the file you want to execute. This means
that STDOUT will be to the console screen and it will look as if it is
running.

You did not do anything wrong. Put this in a .pl file and double click
on it the way you did earlier
#!perl
while(1){
print STDOUT "BOLLOCKS";
sleep(1);
}
You will notice now that the dos console does not disappear.
