^^^^^ Hi,

My idea was - compare:
perl c:\progra~1\pi3web ...
perl C:\PROGRAM FILES\PI3WEB ...

A space in cmd-line => 2 parameters to perl interpreter =>error
The solutions:

1.)
Change Config.Pi3:
Search all deposits of:
  CommandLineByExt .pl="perl %p%q"
Change into:
  CommandLineByExt .pl="perl \"%p\"%q"
Search:
  CommandLineByExt .cgi="perl %p%q"
Change into:
  CommandLineByExt .cgi="perl \"%p\"%q"

I've tested it with Winperl32 from command line and with Pi3Web and it works.

2.)
Try to move P3Web into a directory without spaces and reconfigure Config.Pi3.
