in thread pp and setting Windows LegalCopyright in executable header

That is the behaviour I have seen with all the tools for changing the exe header I have tried. The properties change, but the executable becomes corrupted with messages that look like:

format error: bad signature: 0x00004000 at offset 5069472 in file <my-file>

Oddly the executable appears to work, but these messages are a problem and may indicate a larger underlying issue.

    You could always hardcode the licensing/copyright etc within the Perl code itself, and display it with a flag:

    perlscript.exe --version

    Possible output:
