Under Windows this command window can be annoying. One thing to think about is using the START command option which launches the Perl program with command window minimized to the Task Bar. Usually this is enough if you have experienced users who can follow directions.

I use the ActiveState perlapp to generate standalone Tk based apps in .exe format and now I just turn their flag on that says "no command window".

I recommend the "Perl Cookbook" by Tom Christiansen. His solution is: 

#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;
use Win32;
use Win32::Process;

Win32::Process::Create
   (  $Win32::Process::Create::ProcessObj,
      'C:/perl/bin/perl.exe',  #Where Perl is located...
      'perl myscript.pl',      #the "real program"
      0,                       #Don't inherit
      DETACHED_PROCESS,
      "."                      #current directory
   )
   or
   die print_error();

sub print_error()
{
   return Win32::FormatMessage ( Win32::GetLastError() );
}
