in reply to open new terminal windows

on windows, you might do it as 
system qw[ cmd.exe /c ], $^X, '/path/to/foo.pl', ...;

[download]
cmd.exe creates the "terminal windows". I hope that clears up what you have to do.

I run a Win32 PPM repository for perl 5.6.x and 5.8.x -- I take requests (README).

    Any idea how to do this on OS X?

      Exactly the same. Pick a shell ($ENV{SHELL}), figure out how it takes its arguments, invoke with system.
