I'm afraid I don't understand what you gain by having 2.4 million lines of data attached as part of the perl script. Have you really not tried putting those first 13 lines into a separate file, so that the 2.4 million lines of data can sit alone (without the script attached) in a separate file, which your separate perl script then reads "in the normal way"?
Apart from that, it wouldn't surprise me to learn that a "modern" windows OS is still having (or making) trouble when more than one process wants to open the same file, and one of those processes wants write access on the file.
(Have you tried putting print "starting now\n"; as the 3rd line, to see if you get any output at all before the error message?)

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
