You're not really doing anything to create a cmd.exe console and keep it alive. 
C:\sisyphusion>type script.pl
use warnings;
print "Hello World\n";

C:\sisyphusion>type try.bat
@echo off
set PATH=C:\MinGW\perl516\bin;C:\MinGW\bin;%PATH%
@echo on
cmd /k perl script.pl

C:\sisyphusion>

When I double click on 'try.bat' I get a cmd.exe console pop up that contains: 

C:\sisyphusion>cmd /k perl script.pl
Hello World

C:\sisyphusion>

I think you should be able to make use of that approach, too.
It's the "/k" switch that keeps the cmd.exe console alive. If you use "/c" instead, then the cmd.exe console closes as soon as the perl script has finished executing.
(The "@echo off" and "@echo on" merely conceal the output of the "set PATH" command - you probably already know that.)

Cheers,
