in reply to PAR packer error

Hi marto ..I'm sorry.. i wasnt very clear in the previous statement .. I wasn't really stressing on the semantics of the statement .. I know it is a packager . what i meant was that the copy of the exe would be specific to the windows 64 platform ..

I tried cava packager... it seems to create the exe file perfectly .. i can run it on my system .. but shows the error  libgd-2_.dll not found.. "... on a test system..
so now i'm thinking of automating the process of the module installation ...

is it possible to automate the entire process of installing modules (local distribution).??? I have a bunch of modules i want the user to install ... but i dont want him to go through much trouble ... I've tried several methods of creating an exe but failed .. so now user would be ready to go and he only needs to install the perl distribution and run the installation script ...

    You've posted here over 50 times, yet you reply to your own posts and not to those who you seem to want to address. Consider reading and understanding PerlMonks for the Absolute Beginner.

    It sounds like cava hasn't packaged a dll that one of the modules you're using (GD) relies on. For that you'd need to read and understand the documentation for the packager you're using. I don't use cava, this is all explained for pp in the documentation and the links you've already been given.

    "I've tried several methods of creating an exe but failed"

    You've provided feedback for cava, nothing else. No examples of how you tried to package this with pp. There's nothing anyone can help you with. Spend the time learning to use the tools you've chosen. Links have been provided. If you have an actual problem you want help with read and understand How do I post a question effectively?.

    Also, your keyboard seems to have a faulty ? key.
