gnucash 3.0 crashes opening accounts file

[htyber at comcast.net]

I have examined the gnucash.trace file and find one critical error that's
probably causing the crash. Any ideas on how I might address this problem? 

* 21:47:50  WARN <gnc.app-utils> Could not spawn perl: Failed to execute
child process (No such file or directory) 
* 21:48:06  CRIT <GLib> g_file_test: assertion 'filename != NULL' failed 
* 21:48:10  WARN <GLib-GObject> invalid uninstantiatable type '(NULL)' in
cast to 'QofInstance'

Subject: gnucash 3.0 crashes opening accounts file

Gnucash 3.0 on Windows 10 crashes on opening my account file. The account
file was last saved in gnucash 2.6.19 and opens flawlessly in that version.
When I start gnucash 3.0 it briefly shows my list of accounts and then I get
the Windows message that the application has crashed.

I am able to create a file in 3.0. I also was able to import the chart of
accounts in 3.0. I have tried running the program in Admin mode also. No
luck with my original data file.

I have seen this reported under bug 782144. I suspect some data in the file
might be causing trouble. The only entries that I have that seem out of the
ordinary is an "imbalance account" that I use to track business auto
mileage. 

Appreciate any help on upgrading to 3.0.
