You need to change this:

$path = "C:\Program Files\sambar51\cgi-bin";

# to either
$path = "C:\\Program Files\\sambar51\\cgi-bin";
# or
$path = "C:/Program Files/sambar51/cgi-bin";

See Paths in Perl for more details. Also when you open a file the error (if any) is stored in $! so you get more info if you do:

open FILE, $file or die "Can't open $file, perl says error is $!";
