A modification to kcott's case 1:

This will always prompt you to press enter, no matter how the script exits, even if an error is encountered.
This can be useful if the script is running in its own window which closes when the script exits. 
use strict;
use warnings;

# ...

my $x = 1 / 0;

# ...


END
{
    print "\nHit enter when done: ";
    <>;
    exit;
}
