You need to add to the registry the following:
Create a key HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.cgi\Shell\ExecCGI\Command with the default value of the full path of perl.exe with a -T parameter. For example C:\Perl\bin\perl.exe -T

There is a link I am not allowed to publish. try googling it: Installing Bugzilla on Microsoft Windows. It gives more explanations.

The reason is that all bugzilla cgi scripts use \user\bin\perl -wT and in order to execute -T, it needs to be added to the command line.

I am sure this will solve some problems for some of you.
