    Please advice.

    The error is probably on line 37, but you can never rule out that sneaky line 42.

        As best as I can tell from that, you're probably doing nothing wrong. As our anonymous friend said, you'll have to contact IndigoStar for a resolution, as it look like a bug in their software rather than your code.

    the perl2exe manual says :
    "The following comments in your source code will affect the way that perl2exe operates :
    #perl2exe_include modulename"

    So try adding :
    #perl2exe_include Win32;
    at the top of your script. it is possible that perl2exe does not find the dependencies without it

    why don't you use PAR ?

      I added the your recommendation to my perl program - and the problem is not resolved.

      #perl2exe_include Win32;

      Do you have another idea?

      What it is PAR?</> I need to distribute my Perl to Windows machine: Win32 and Win64 with XP and Win7

      Is PAR supports these requirements?

        PAR is like perl2exe, just like PerlApp , or http://www.cava.co.uk/

        When you run into errors like this, you'll have to contact support
