What exactly are you looking for? Do you not want them to see the console window flash by their eyes, or does your script do more than just execute a batch file then exit?

With perlapp from ActiveState, you can add some simple Tk to just have a nice window that says "My App Name" and give them a button which allows them to exit the app, then compile with the  --gui option. Heck, you could even make it a one pixel window and destroy it yourself at the end of your script. If you control the computer which they use your .exe on, you can tell windows to launch it minimized (go to Properties and set Run: to "minimized" instead of "Normal Window."
