perl2exe cannot find some modules

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

Windows 8 64-bit.

These are the error msgs I get when using Perl2exe on my Perl script. Note that the Perl script otherwise works fine, I've tested it a lot.

Do I need to add something to my path? I tried to Google this and also searched Perlmonks but did not find anything yet. Thank you.

EDIT: Hold on, I didn't realize I could install modules with 3 parts like IPC::System::Simple. I'm installing it now.

EDIT: Well that worked, I don't get any compile errors, but now the EXE won't run, and I can't delete this thread.

... I can't delete this thread. Please don't do that! Your solution ("Hold on, I didn't realize ...") may be just what someone else needs to deal with a similar problem. Please see How do I change/delete my post? for site etiquette regarding post changes. Your other post seems to be a sufficiently unrelated question as to merit a separate thread.

I "bulrush" I have the same issue with MD5 module into perl2exe. It is not an @INC problem. I'm working on a Linux platform. If you edit the MD5.pm file you can see that just before line 30 an eval is made to load MD5.so with XSLoader. This eval failed and $@ is not null. I suppose that perl version is not the good one but I have not solved the problem yet. Have you some idea to continue the investigations ? Thanks for your help	[reply]
