Try system: 
system('perl', 'test.pl', $var1, $var2.'\\'.$var3);

[download]
You should probably fully qualify the path to test.pl, $ENV{HOME} is handy for this: 
system(
   'perl',
   $ENV{HOME}.'\path\to\test.pl', 
   $var1,
   qq|$var2\\$var3|,
);

    For the record this is more or less equivelent to doing 
    `cmd.exe /c perl.exe test.pl $var1 $vars\\$var3`

    The only difference is that the cmd.exe call will be appropriately qualified, both in terms of OS (the w9x series has a slighly different syntax) and in terms of using the correct systempath to get to cmd.exe
