Given the following script:

use strict;
use warnings;
use Tk;
my $mw=MainWindow->new();
print STDOUT "PerlTk server: [". $mw->server() ."]\n";

[download]

If I run the above script on Windows 10 using StrawberryPerl I get the following output which is as expected:

PerlTk server: [Windows 10.0 10586 Win32]

but if I create an exe of the above script with Par::Packer on the same system I get the following wrong output when running the exe:

PerlTk server: [Windows 6.2 9200 Win32]

Why does Par::Packer change the output of the Tk 'server()' command making it incorrect and what do I have to do to get the correct output when using an exe created by Par::Packer?

In reply to why does par packer cause incorrect Perl-Tk server() output? by perltux
