Continuing on this topic, is it possible to run the commands on separate lines in the newly opened command prompt?

So my perl script needs to open a new command prompt and in that, connect to some server (I have a script that connects to the server) and wait for connection to be done before execution of next command. This is what I am currently doing: 

 
my $cmd1 = "python Pyscript.py server=server_name.com";
system(qq{start cmd /k "cd c:\\PerlExamples && $cmd1 && test=$test_nam
+e,$file_name"});

$test_name and $file_name are previously defined. Execution of this script paths to my directory and connects to my server but doesn't execute the test part. When I try to manually enter these commands in a command prompt window, it works if I have them on separate lines only. Is it possible to do this from perl?
