You could try <http://www.intersect-uk.co.uk/~iugeoff/perlrun.zip>

It checks the wimpstate and whether it is being run in a taskwindow.  If in
the desktop and a perl script is run in a taskwindow it is run normally,
otherwise a taskwindow is created.

Outside the desktop the taskwindow is not used.

It requires Perl to have already been seen by the filer and running the app
runs your EvalLoopS.

Tested on RO4.02 and should work on both earlier and later versions.
