FWIW: working directly under cmd.exe is still a PITA

This will speed-start (-Q) emacs as a console app (-nw) inside your cmd.exe and activate the debugger

%emacs% -nw -Q --eval "(perldb \"perl -d -e 0\")"

%emacs% be a variable pointing to your emacs.exe

like set emacs=C:\nonBKU\emacs_i386\emacs-24.3\bin\emacs.exe

Everything works then.°

C-x C-c to leave it again
