Hi, I've written a Perl script that I want to deploy on multiple clients. For this, to avoid Perl and required modules installation on clients, I thought to create a standalone exe of my Perl code.

I tried three different ways to accomplish this task i.e. 1) perl2exe 2) ActivePerl's perlapp and 3) PAR::Packer pp utility

All of these ways didn't work and the problem was with Sys::Info::OS module. No any of above utilities helped me to resolve this issue. Below is the somewhat error I got for all of these utilities (as of now it's the output of pp utility)-

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).
