Hello

I'm having problems with CAVA or PP when packaging a Perl script into .exe. When executing the program on a machine that does not have Perl installed, I get the following error:

Can't load 'C:/MAT/lib/vrt/lotsofnumbersandletters/GD.dll' for module GD: load_file:The specified module could not be found at <content>/Dynaloader.pm line 157. at C:/MAT/lib/std/dimensions_graph.pl line 3 Compilation failed in require at C:/MAT/lib/std/dimensions_graph.pl line 3. BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at C:/MAT/lib/std/dimensions_graph.pl line 3. Compilation failed in require at C:/MAT/lib/std/calc_dimensions.pl line 3.

I get this error when using Cava. With PP I get a similar error. On a machine with Perl installed I tried to remove GD.dll from 'C:/MAT/lib/vrt/lotsofnumbersandletters/' and when I ran the programme I got exactly the same error as shown above. Therefore, it looks like it can't find GD.dll even though the dll is there where it should be. I looked this up on the internet and found some other people posting here with the same problem but I could not find a solution.

Any help is appreciated! Thanks!
