in thread Open a second DOS window

Try this 

#! perl -plw
use strict;
use Win32::Console;
BEGIN{
    my $c=new Win32::Console( STD_ERROR_HANDLE );
    $c->Free();
    $c->Alloc();
}

END{
    print 'Paused'; 1 while sleep 1;
}

Name that as Errcon.pl and then do 

perl -e"open F, '| perl ErrCon.pl' or die $!; print F 'Hello world', $
+_, $/ for 1 .. 100"

You'll need to use ^Break to end the progam.
