It's not really a Windows problem. Just the syntax of the redirection is a bit different under Windows and under Unix. The illegal operation is strange. Are you sure you don't have some hardware problem? (CPU overheating can cause all kinds of hard to explain problems) Or borked up instalation of Perl or Windows?
