If you are using X, and are willing to use Tk, there is the easy-2-use Tk::Execute::Command module. 
#!/usr/bin/perl
use warnings;
use strict;
use Tk;
use Tk::ExecuteCommand;

my $mw = MainWindow->new;

my $ec_dir = $mw->ExecuteCommand(
    -command    => 'dir; sleep 10; dir;',
    -entryWidth => 50,
    -height     => 10,
    -label      => '',
    -text       => 'Execute dir ',
)->pack;

my $ec_date = $mw->ExecuteCommand(
    -command    => 'date; sleep 10; date;',
    -entryWidth => 50,
    -height     => 10,
    -label      => '',
    -text       => 'Execute date ',
)->pack;


my $dir_but = $mw->Button(
               -text => 'Execute dir',
               -background => 'hotpink',
               -command => sub{ $ec_dir->execute_command })->pack;

my $date_but = $mw->Button(
               -text => 'Execute date',
               -background => 'lightgreen',
        -command => sub{ $ec_date->execute_command })->pack;

MainLoop;
