You need to simply open the MS-DOS command prompt, and run the program from there. For example, if I had a program located in C:\MyPerlScripts, I would type the following at the prompt: 
C:\>cd MyPerlScripts
C:\MyPerlScripts>perl script.pl

Any output of the program would go to STDOUT. I am assuming that you are merely clicking on the icon for the program, which would run it, but any output would simply display quickly, then disappear when the program exits, as the command shell created when the program runs, would exit.
