Yes, but if pp -e "print 1..99" doesn't include them, I see no reason why pp -e "use strict" should. The purpose of PAR::Packer is to only include the modules needed by the particular perl program you are packing, not your entire build tree. Or so I thought.

Based on your hint about scandeps, I tried it from the command line (though I'm not sure it would be doing the exact same thing as what pp uses it for) and it behaves similarly, but give some error messages about not being able to connect to CPAN sites to download stuff:

[ I ctrl-c'd it at this point ]

I am behind firewalls where I work, so I'm not even sure I can open this up to allow FTP or HTTP to work. But I have to ask why it needs to consult anything other than the local perl install tree for module dependency info? Shouldn't it just be looking recursively at "use" statements?
