Hi Monks. I cannot figure out how to package a program that uses XML::LibXML. I am using strawberry perl on windows. I convert the perl program to exe:

Make exe like this:

pp -I lib -l c:\strawberry\c\bin\zlib1__.dll -l c:\strawberry\c\bin\li
+bxml2-2__.dll -l c:\strawberry\c\bin\libiconv-2__.dll -x --xargs=pp -
+I ..\source ..\source\testxx.pl -o ..\bin\testxx.exe

[download]

When I run on the system that generated the exe (with strawberry perl installed) it runs OK.

Running on another system (that doesn't have perl installed) produces this error:

My guess is I need to include something...xs.dll. I notice by searching there are a lot of *.xs.dll files in strawberry perl sub folders. How do I know what I need to include? Is there any way to list all the DLL's that get loaded when I run the script normally, so I can have them linked to pp?

Thanks for any help! Have been stuck on this for a quite a while!
