    I'm going to guess that you're running windows, since you didn't pronounce it "terminal"

    In such a case, start cmd will open a new window, which you can later close with an exit

    I'm not sure what this question has to do with perl however.

      start will generally open a new window -- simply issuing cmd will start a new cmd in the same window
