Hi wizards
I have a certain Perl program that I need to run on Windows 7 "Power Shell ISE" (since the regular MS Windows console does not support many Unicode fonts, and PS-ISE does, and I need to process Unicode files on Windows, using Perl).

When running a Perl program from the regular cmd console, you go, for example,
>"Perl hello.pl";
the program runs, and if you print something, let's say
print "Hello world\n";
it gets printed in the cmd box.
How can I do it in PS-ISE? In PS-ISE, when I go:
">Perl hello.pl"
it hangs.
PS-ISE says: "Running script/selection. Press Ctrl+Break to stop", but it doesn't print "Hello world".
(Next, I also need to accept input from STDIN).

Important note: it's "Power shell ISE", not: "Power Shell".
