I wanted to build an awesome place for people to discuss module specific issues, but I don't have any more time for this, and there are much better places to discuss Perl-related issues. I'd recommend asking your question on Stack Overflow or on Perl Monks.
If you are looking for a Perl tutorial or Perl-related news, I hope these links will serve you well.

Re: Exiftool not working on Win 7
Yes, this is an interruption to the way this troubleshooting session is going, but:

When you are running the Perl file, are you doing

perl c:\exiftool\exiftool.pl
?

Or are you just doing

c:\exiftool\exiftool.pl
, and letting the file type association figure out to run Perl? In the latter case, you do not get at least some features of the shell -- redirection for sure, and maybe command line arguments as well. At least, this is true under XP. I haven't touched Windows since Vista came out, so can't tell about more recent versions, but this was a "feature" of earlier versions of Windows.

So if at some point it seems desirable to run exiftool.pl rather than exiftool.exe, this might be a thing to try.
