Code:

open( FILE, "$FileName" )
   || (warn "Cannot open $FileName: $!\n" and die);
  }

It's part of the basic subroutine to open file. Open filehandle or warn. So it can't find the file.
Oddly enough, the message should have generated the whole warning, not just the '$!' part.

If this is an systemic error, than no files can be loaded anywhere in Windows, which seems odd: This is a very basic operation. Could you have given the wrong filename?

Maybe use https://www.cygwin.com/ to see whether it is Linux/Windows related or your input?
