I agree with the other comments in this thread regarding running a permanent loop. However, I assume there is a chance you don't have the time right now to change your setup. A very simple way (and a complete hack) of telling which of your scripts are running would be to *copy* the perl executable (c:\perl\bin\perl.exe) to another filename (c:\perl\bin\foo.exe), and then exec it using foo.exe. Then, when you check processes you'll see one script running as foo.exe and another running as perl. This is rather untidy, but simple to do in less than a minute.
