Do you get a server error? Is there anything of interest in the webserver's log?

If so, it's likely the webserver doesn't have permission to write to that directory.

Also note that using \ backslashes in paths is usually not needed even on windows since / forward slashes work as well and have less issues (for instance; "c:\some\newthing" contains a newline, while "c:/some/newthing" does not)

As an aside, what do you want to accomplish with using perl2exe? There's no real benefit to using it, besides easier distribution to sites that don't have perl installed - and I'm guessing you already have some sort of control over the server you're running this program on.
