Was this a clean Windows 10 installation or an OS upgrade
from 7SP1/8/8.1/8.1u1 ? Is it x86 or x64 architecture?

Do you use the WebPVR Manager on Edge, Internet Explorer 11
or in some other browser?

GiP "should" run OK in Win10, but some known "errors"
have been posted in the support forum:

Does

load OK in the browser used for the WebPVR?

Have you tried to download via CLI?

get-iplayer --pid=p03kky9f  --modes=best

This is obviously perl related - a
module responsible for the parsing fails.
It could be a permissions issue - try

Do you run GiP from the same user account
it was installed with and does this belong to
the Admins Group?
As dinky hinted, some protection software
may inhibit one or more DLLs needed
for that failing perl module...

As said, my questions/suggestions are
mainly food-for-thought. You are obviously
in a hurry, so I'd urge you to subscribe
and seek further assistance in the forum:

Dinky (the code maintainer) posts there uniquely,
if you are lucky, he could figure out a solution
for you in time...
