Well, you've got a "mixed" pathname in @INC.  Anything that starts with  L:
would be a windows path while the use of forward slashes (/) is a Linux
path.  I'd suggest changing the script (or the environment which sets @INC)
so it uses only Windows or Linux paths.

There may be some Perl scripts that one is supposed to run to setup the @INC
variable correctly for ones current system (presumably depends on the
supplier of Perl for your Windows installation).

Or you could switch to Linux which I would consider to be a much more
Perl/BioPerl friendly environment.  Because, IMO, sticking with Windows is
like boarding the Titanic as it is about to sail out of the harbor.
