      Since you didn't mention what errors you're getting I'll just guess.

      color e and clr should be wrapped in quotes, for starters. Why don't you focus on substance first, rather than worry about colors and prettiness?

        Ya,quotes seems to be problem,substance is ready,so concentrating on prettiness :-)

        Now am running into a problem where am trying to change the title of the window on which it is run,title just changes and in blink of a second it goes back,any idea how to permanently change the title of the window on which the exe is run? 

        system ("title Myperlscript.exe");
