Sorry for not explaining the problem the right way. Again, I distribute a software written in Perl (Exe created with PerlApp->ActiveState). The software runs on hundreds of machines without problems. The machines do not have Perl installed, that is for sure. Now and then, some Windows 8.1 users report that the EXE does not start. I checked on one of this machines and I discovered that at runtimes the Exe fires an error complaining that JSON was not found. By now, I just trim my script so that it will no complain if it soes not find the module. Of course, the functions relying on this module will not work. What I am trying to understand is why on some machines (1 out of 200?), I get this error.
