You failed to mention which OS you're targeting ?

With some effort, a Perl/Tk UI might be a reasonable
alternative; but you'll need to run Perl/Tk in its
own thread, and use a Thread::Queue (or Thread::Queue::Duplex)
to communicate between the threads and the UI widgets.

Pseudocode-wise:

create 10 Thread::Queue's
Start Perl/TK in a thread
	Perl/Tk creates 10 TopLevel text widgets
	Perl/Tk polls the queues for activity

start 10 threads, handing each their own queue

Alternately, on Win32, you might start 10 cmd.exe's via
Win32::Process, and communicate via pipes. I'm certain there's
an equivalent in *nix using /dev/tty or somesuch, but my
POSIX system programmer skills are a bit rusty.
