When you make an exe with PerlApp it basically grabs your script, any modules the script uses and the perl.exe interpreter and wraps it in a PE (Portable Executable) file which is the native format of executable binaries (programs, dll's and drivers) for Microsoft Windows® 9x/ME/NT/2000 32-bit operating systems.

For a PerlApp .exe @INC is essentially a reference to itself (actually there is some unwrapping done) but nonetheless the problem is that PerlApp has not included File::Basename (which is required by XML::Simple)

Sensible advice is to get v4. You could fix the problem with a quick kludge by adding the line 

use File::Basename;

[download]

to *your* script to make sure PerlApp knows it needs to grab this module.
