Greetings,
I recently downloaded PAR::Packer on Windows 7 to create .exe's from perl code. It works fine with command line perl but when I attempt to use it with gui code it does nothing. The command does not return and error, it just does not bring up the gui box like it does when I run it straight from perl.

Here is a small test case I am using. 

use strict;
use warnings;
use File::Spec::Functions;

BEGIN {
    if (exists $ENV{PAR_PROGNAME}) {
        use Config ();
        $ENV{PERL_TCL_DL_PATH} = catfile(
            $ENV{PAR_TEMP},
            'tkkit.' . $Config::Config{dlext},
        );
    }
}


use Tkx;
    
    Tkx::button(".b",
        -text => "Hello, world",
        -command => sub { Tkx::destroy("."); },
    );
    Tkx::pack(".b");
    
    Tkx::MainLoop()

If I run gui1.pl a text box pops up with a "Hello World" button.
If I run gui1.exe the command completes with no errors but no box pops up.

The command I use to successfully create the .exe is
pp --gui -o gui1.exe gui1.pl

Did I enter the command incorrectly or is there another problem?
