The only downside to this method is that an errant Perl Window can linger around long after you think it's been closed (i.e. it won't show anywhere expect under Task Manager).
I prefer making a copy of perl.exe (in C:\Perl\bin) and call it something like perlw.exe. Then register perlw.exe as a Windows app, instead of a DOS app. My Windows perl scripts get an extention of .plw which gets associated with perlw.exe Russell J Foster Subject, Wills, & Company e.
