No sorry, I cannot explain this. It works here with my XP/SP2 so it is not a generic problem. I'm seeing that perl writes a file to /tmp
instead this error.
Maybe perl doesn't like your TMP drive:
> TEMP = `C:\DOCUME~1\TOMAXE~1\LOKALA~1\Temp'
> TMP = `C:\DOCUME~1\TOMAXE~1\LOKALA~1\Temp'
Create /tmp and set TMP & TEMP to /tmp.
