On an old computer I created a couple of simple webforms years ago with a Perl script that would take a few html form fields, run through a script, and send an email to my inbox. On my new computer with Windows 8.1 I have used the same files (copy/paste) but when I submit the web form I get an IIS error:

"The specified CGI application encountered an error and the server terminated the process."

I whittled down the script and it seems to get hung up on the Carp and SendEasy portions. Here is the script that works on my old XP computer but not 8.1: 
use CGI;
 use CGI::Carp qw(carpout fatalsToBrowser);
 use Mail::SendEasy; 
print "Content-type: text/html\n\n";
 print "Done";

my $cgi = new CGI;
 my $Reminder = $cgi->param('Reminder');
 my $message =<<EOF;
 <html>
 <head>
 </head>
 <body>
 $Reminder
 </body>
 </html>
 EOF

my $status = Mail::SendEasy::send(
 smtp =>  'localhost' ,
 user => 'user' ,
 pass => 'password' ,
 from => 'me@domain.com' ,
 from_title => 'ME' ,
 to => 'me@domain.com' , 
 subject => "Reminder Message" ,
 html =>  $message,
 msgid => "0101" ,
 ) ;

if (!$status) { Mail::SendEasy::error ;}

I've verified that perl is properly installed through IIS 8 using various test scripts.
