Which version of Windows are you using and what code did you write? I ask this because on Windows 10, the following works perfectly: a.pl:
a.plx:
The reason this works in Windows is because start spawns a new command prompt instance, completely detached from the parent instance. This separate instance can be terminated separately with ctrl-c, so if you're looking for something that is unkillable, you will have to look elsewhere (such as firing the code under a different user account, where the logged in user has no rights to terminate software running under the alternate account)
