in thread Supressing MS-Dos Window when running a PERL exe

In addition to what marto said, there's one bit of difference (literally) between a Windows program and a console (AKA "DOS") program. And ActivePerl, for one, includes a script to flip that bit: exetype. This is how wperl.exe is created out of plain perl.exe

This is what perl2exe's own -gui option (which at least you used to have to pay extra for) does.
