Conan, I bet you, that if you put the shebang line pointing to the perl\bin\perl directory it will work.
I had my perl working with apache and I downloaded activestate perl and all of a sudden I was getting the same message "Can not Spawned". I change my shebang line on all my perl script and it worked. I wish someone could explain this.
