Actually your question is "How to have a non console application".
Soo, Win32 Perl come with a tool to change the binaries for that. Take a
look in the script exetype.pl, that can be found at c:\perl\bin

Or get the source at:
http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/hwx/source/HWXperl/win32/bin/exetype.p
l?rev=1.1&view=auto

And note that fork on Win32 is fake!!! Soo, fork() doesn't create a new
process, like in Linux, it just create a new thread inside the same process.
(Don't use fork on Win32, use threads!)

GMP.
