This *almost* always means that your shebang line is not pointing to your Perl
executable. Also,
it helps if you post a bit of code.
Where is your perl.exe (full path) and what's the shebang line in your script? The
shebang line,
if you're not familiar with the term, is the first line of the script if, and only if,
it begins
with a #!. For examples:
#!C:/perl/bin/perl.exe -wT
