Hi all, I have a script that works as designed, but when I pack it into an .exe with PAR::Packer, it crashes at an open command. I'm on Windows, using ActivePerl.
I'm also at a complete loss. Am I doing something wrong? Did I stumble upon some weird incompatibility/bug? Is my PAR::Packer install broken?
Here's a shortened version of the script that exhibits the problem: 
use strict;
use warnings;


use Tk;

use utf8;



my $mw = Tk::MainWindow->new;

$mw -> Button(-text=>"Exit", -command => sub {exit(0)}) -> pack(-pady 
+=> 20);



my $convert_bin;

my $condition;
if (!$condition) {
    
    my $bin_win = $mw->Toplevel(-title => 'A toplevel');
    $bin_win->minsize(300, 200);
    $bin_win->update;
    $bin_win->raise;
    $bin_win->focus;
    
    
    $bin_win ->Label( -text => "Just testing", -font => 'bold',)->pack
+(-pady => 10);
    $bin_win ->Label( -text => "Please click browse and specify a rand
+om file.\nThe script will try and print the file path to c:/test/file
+path.txt.",)->pack(-pady => 10);
    
    
    my $filepicker = sub {    # this sub is launched when the Browse b
+utton is pressed, see further down
        
        
        $convert_bin = $mw ->getOpenFile(
                                -title => "Please choose the file",
                                -multiple => 0,
                            );
        
        
        mkdir "c:/test";
        open (OUT, ">:encoding(UTF-8)", "c:/test/filepath.txt") or pri
+nt "Can't open file: $!";    # this fails when the script is packed i
+nto an exe with PAR::Packer
        print OUT "File path: $convert_bin";
        close OUT;
        
        
        $bin_win->destroy;
        
    }; # don't delete this ;
    
    
my $buttbrowse = $bin_win -> Button(-text=>"Browse", -command =>[\&$fi
+lepicker]) -> pack(-pady => 20);
    
    
}


MainLoop;

P.s. it creates a random folder on c:/, it was the first location that came to mind.
