That sounds suspicious, what did you install exactly? After you build an exe with `pp -x ...` try it out locally by first using `set path=` then `myexe.exe`	[reply] [d/l]

Thanks for the reply. I actually did not use the -x option. I did 'pp -o a.exe b.perl'. I installed the module 'PAR-Packer-1.013'	[reply]

Just checking: Did you follow the link Anonymonk gave you to see why the -o option is not appropriate?	[reply]

I installed the module 'PAR-Packer-1.013' You said that in your original post, you should be more specific	[reply]

I received your /msg asking for help with this. I had read the post, and the replies, I'm not sure what I can add to the existing answers, but here we go. Consider running with the -x option: `pp -x myscript.pl` Then test the executable created. Please read and understand the pp documentation and http://par.perl.org. If you have further problems please provide more details.	[reply] [d/l]

Hi... I got it running in the client machine after copying the per514.dll file from my machine to the current folder of the client machine where there is no Perl installation :) However, please let me know if somehow I could make the dll file included in the exe itself. By the way, it seems pp does check for all the dependencies and included them while making the exe.	[reply]

Well something is going wrong. Perhaps you're not following the `pp -x ....` advice you've been given several times now, or there could be something else going on. You haven't provided any other information so there's little I can do to help which wouldn't simply be research you could do yourself.	[reply] [d/l]

please let me know if somehow I could make the dll file included in the exe itself. Have you even read the docs? `-l, --link=FILE\|LIBRARY Add the given shared library (a.k.a. shared object or DLL) into th +e packed file. Also accepts names under library paths; i.e. -l ncurse +s means the same thing as -l libncurses.so or -l /usr/local/lib/libnc +urses.so in most Unixes. May be specified multiple times.` [download] I'm not really a human, but I play one on earth. Old Perl Programmer Haiku ................... flash japh	[reply] [d/l]

You're not using the -d option by any chance? Don't do that	[reply]


No such thing as a small change
