Run the Perl script under M-x compile
compile will offer to save the file if it's not already saved.
I bind compile to F1:
(define-key global-map [(f1)] 'compile)
Compile wants to use "make".
If you don't want to use a makefile
put this at the bottom of the perl-file:
# Local Variables:
# compile-command: "./perl-script"
# End:
To switch to the other window, use M-x other-window,
I do this enough that I bind it to F10:
(define-key global-map [(f10)] 'other-window)
I think that covers all 5 issues above.
