Building a Mojolicious app with PAR::Packer

[Hue-Bond]

Esteemed monks,

I'm trying to make an .exe file out of a little program using Mojolicious::Lite. It's Strawberry Perl 5.12.0 on Windows XP SP2 (perl built for MSWin32-x86-multi-thread).

The code couldn't be simpler:

#!/usr/bin/perl

use Mojolicious::Lite;

This is what happens when I try to build it:

> pp -o use-mojo.exe use-mojo.pl

> use-mojo.exe
Can't locate Mojolicious.pm in @INC (@INC contains: CODE(0x13ddff4) C:

BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at Mojolicious/Lite.pm line 2.
Compilation failed in require at script/use-mojo.pl line 3.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at script/use-mojo.pl line 3.

Hmm well, ok, let's manually include the missing module:

> pp -M Mojolicious -o use-mojo.exe use-mojo.pl

> use-mojo.exe
Can't locate Mojo.pm in @INC (@INC contains: CODE(0x1360614) C:\DOCUME

BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at Mojolicious/Lite.pm line 2.
Compilation failed in require at script/use-mojo.pl line 3.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at script/use-mojo.pl line 3.

Ok, maybe it's another kind of problem. Let's try with -I:

> perl -MMojolicious -MMojo -le "print $INC{'Mojolicious.pm'}; print $
+INC{'Mojo.pm'}"
C:/strawberry/perl/site/lib/Mojolicious.pm
C:/strawberry/perl/site/lib/Mojo.pm

> pp -I C:/strawberry/perl/site/lib -o use-mojo.exe use-mojo.pl

> use-mojo.exe

Uh, I'm back to square 1. Same result if I try with backslashes.

Well, at this point I made a .bat file with a bunch of modules and tried with it. This is the batch:

pp ^
  -I . ^
  -I C:\strawberry\perl\site\lib ^
  -I C:\strawberry\perl\site ^
  -M Mojolicious ^
  -M Mojo ^
  -M Mojo::Asset ^
  -M Mojo::Base ^
  -M Mojo::ByteStream ^
  -M Mojo::Cache ^
  -M Mojo::Client ^
  -M Mojo::Command ^
  -M Mojo::Content ^
  -M Mojo::Cookie ^
  -M Mojo::CookieJar ^
  -M Mojo::Date ^
  -M Mojo::DOM ^
  -M Mojo::Exception ^
  -M Mojo::Headers ^
  -M Mojo::HelloWorld ^
  -M Mojo::Home ^
  -M Mojo::IOLoop ^
  -M Mojo::JSON ^
  -M Mojo::Loader ^
  -M Mojo::Log ^
  -M Mojo::Message ^
  -M Mojo::Parameters ^
  -M Mojo::Path ^
  -M Mojo::Server ^
  -M Mojo::Template ^
  -M Mojo::Transaction ^
  -M Mojo::Upload ^
  -M Mojo::URL ^
  -M Mojo::Util ^
  -o use-mojo.exe use-mojo.pl

And the output:

> use-mojo.exe
script: No such file or directory at Mojo/Home.pm line 25
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at script/use-mojo.pl line 3.

It seems I've advanced a little, but I guess there's a better (less explicit/verbose) way to build the .exe and I shouldn't be using this batch file.

I've googled around (with and without site:perlmonks.org) to no avail. I guess I must be missing some bit along the way but can't figure out which one it is. Any idea? Thanks!
