Windows 10, Strawberryperl 5.16.3, pp

If I pack the following two scripts with pp, the first work, the second not (Can't connect to data source 'DBI:SQLite:\C:\Users\DON\Desktop\data.db' because I can't work out what driver to use (it doesn't seem to contain a 'dbi:driver:' prefix and the DBI_DRIVER env var is not set) at script/myscript.pl). In the first, the database path is hard encoded, in the second it is read by a configuration file (in the example a simple text file). Note that both works nicely from command line

        use warnings;
        use strict;
        use DBI;
        use DBD::SQLite;
        
        my $Path='C:\Users\DON\Desktop\data.db';
        my $dsn = "DBI:SQLite:" . $Path;
        print "Connecting $dsn ... \n";
        my %attr = (RaiseError => 1, sqlite_unicode => 1, AutoCommit =
+> 1);
        my $dbh = DBI->connect($dsn, "", "", \%attr) || die $DBI::errs
+tr;
        print "done!\n";

And here the second script, reading the same $Path value from file

        use warnings;
        use strict;
        use DBI;
        use DBD::SQLite;
        
        my $Path;
    
        print "Reading configuration file...\n";
        my $FileInput="config.txt";#simple txt file containing this: C
+:\Users\DON\Desktop\data.db
        open my $FH, "<:encoding(UTF-8)", $FileInput;
        while (my $line = <$FH>) {
            $Path = $line;
        }
        
        my $dsn = "DBI:SQLite:" . $Path;
        print "Connecting $dsn ... \n";
        my %attr = (RaiseError => 1, sqlite_unicode => 1, AutoCommit =
+> 1);
        my $dbh = DBI->connect($dsn, "", "", \%attr) || die $DBI::errs
+tr;
        print "done!\n";

What is wrong in the second script that pp doesn't like?
