hey so i will give you the entire detail of what , how I have done , and the issue I am having . I have a script which uses Text::CSV cpan , I installed that cpan in my PC and its working fine . Now I wanted to make an exe file ,so I installed PAR::Packer and pp and created .exe successfully with this code `pp -o packed.exe source.pl` so now when I run this executable on some other system which does not have this Text::CSV cpan it fails . I want that user without installing this cpan , and if possible even without installing perl be able to execute this exe file Is it possible for me to be able to do it FYI i also did `pp -P -o packed.pl source.pl` to make a packaged file , but when I execute it , an error saying "The application has failed to start because perl516.dll was not found " is shown	[reply] [d/l] [select]

wow long post , I have followed every step as you guys described installed PAR::Packer and pp . It is confirmed they are installed properly as cpan in strawberry says so . The a.exe is created in PAR::Packer , but it does not run , if I click on it , it opens momentarily dies and via command prompt too the same thing is happening . I can't understand the reason why ? And with me there is no proxy issue	[reply]

I can't understand the reason why ? You probably skipped all these tricks	[reply]

it is for pp with gui , I don't have a gui in my script , its just code without any gui . I want it to make self complete so I am going for PAR::Packer ,	[reply]

Just like the documentation said. `# makes packed.exe % pp -o packed.exe source.pl # Now, deploy 'packed.exe' to target machine... # on the target machine now do this.... $ packed.exe` [download] YES!!! what are you afraid of. Worse it won't run, is that not so? Atleast it wouldn't transport you to MARS!!! :) If you tell me, I'll forget. If you show me, I'll remember. if you involve me, I'll understand. --- Author unknown to me	[reply] [d/l]

What happened when you tried this? Seriously, it would have been quicker for you to do this yourself rather than ask people what will happen.	[reply]

i did write these commands at the top of script it said `syntax error at modify.pl line 2, near "% pp -o " "use" not allowed in expression at modify.pl line 8, at end of line BEGIN not safe after errors--compilation aborted at modify.pl line 9. Press any key to continue . . .` [download] and this is how code head looks like </code > # makes packed.exe % pp -o packed.exe source.pl # Now, deploy 'packed.exe' to target machine... # on the target machine now do this.... $ packed.exe #!/bin/perl -w use strict; use warnings; </code>	[reply] [d/l]
