Re: PAR::Packer : Can't use the generated exe if there is no installation of perl

I've never used Par::Packer before so this is just a guess, but could it be that something you're packing is looking for the path to the perl.exe binary in %PATH%, and when it can't find it, that's when it's breaking?

I was also thinking about that. But when there is only `C:\Strawberry\c\bin` in my `%PATH%` it is working, and there is no `perl.exe` in this folder... So I will say that this is not the problem	[reply] [d/l] [select]

What is in the `c:/strawberry/c/bin` directory? I have a few Windows test servers, but all my perls are managed by `berrybrew`, so I don't have such a dir. Perhaps there's something in that directory that isn't `perl.exe` that's being looked for. Can you search through the pre-packed code and search for `$ENV{PATH}`?	[reply] [d/l] [select]

I suspect the resulting executable relies on one or more of the shared libraries (DLLs) in C:\Strawberry\c\bin. You should either transfer them along to the target machine or look for a way to include them into the PAR executable.	[reply]
