Using PAR pp to make an executable with necessary dll files

Anonymous Monk has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

I created an executable from a perl script that works fine, but it requires that a few dll files are in the same directory. It's not a huge deal to just put everything into a zip archive, but I would prefer that everything was in one standalone executable.

I have not tried this myself, but looking at the documentation for pp, the options section describes the --link=FILE/LIBRARY as: "Add the given shared library (a.k.a. shared object or DLL) into the packed file." Might want to give that a shot.	[reply]
