Splunk universal forwarder Scripted input cannot run perl script. whereas if i try to execute the same script with "Splunk cmd" it works perfectly.

Below is the error message noticed in the Splunk var log:

05-14-2018 23:05:44.994 -0700 ERROR ExecProcessor - Couldn't start command ""C:\Program Files\SplunkUniversalforwarder\etc\apps\search\bin\Test.pl"" FormatMessage was unable to decode error (193), (0xc1)

Any comments/help on this.
