start perl script within cygwin

sjwnih111 has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

I would like to start perl.pl within a cygwin terminal such that perl.pl starts in a new cygwin terminal. What is the best way to do this? So far I've tried to use system(perl.pl) and exec(perl.pl), but that runs the perl script within the windows command line, not cygwin.
