Seems like the answers to .exe created by a "pp" sticks on startup still apply.

    Thanks, but not really.I dis use SysInternals for both issues with no luck so far

    Now it's a different issue - the program opens and runs well, but will not exit

    task manager shows several program handles/dlls open.No idea why

    do not see any other handle opened by my program...

      Executable distributions generated by pp are just glorified zip files. You can try to unpack your app into an empty directory, open a clean shell (no other perl in PATH), set the PATH variable so Windows can find the perl executable of your distribution and run your script. See how that works. Maybe you are just missing a dependency that pp did not find because it gets magically loaded somewhere.

      Your post lacks any real detail, and doesn't reference your previous thread. How do I post a question effectively?. Posting what you've tried/discovered along with the context of the problem makes it easier to help. Posting an example which replicates the issue will make it easier for people to help.

      "Now it's a different issue" does the first problem still exist?

        my "previous thread" was a reply to a question from another monk regarding the previous thread"

        Can not post examples - my code is about 7000 lines, and the problem is node code related, by rather the .exe behaviour change after a Perl upgrade.
