in thread system() or exec() in CGI scripts

If I start the perl script local the browser window does open. Also the batch file does work. The only difference to the CGI script ist that the explorer window does open and when starting via CGI it does not open.

    Then it's a CGI issue, and not a Perl issue. Your server sets up a different environment (variables, UID, permissions, limits) than you have from the command line. At least one of these differences prohibits your exe file to behave differently.
