in reply to Program made with perl2exe locks up

I don't know if it's your problem but on Windows 8, there is a setting to lock the console in power options.
Have you set your script with "use autodie;", "use warnings;" ?

    Yes, I use both:
    use warnings; use strict; use autodie qw(:all); # For writing utf-8 files.

    Edit: under display/console lock
      I don't see any "Console Lock" under Control Panel/Display, nor do I see it under the shortcut to cmd.exe properties.
