Is the foo.pl using some modules with XS parts? Are you sure you call pp with the right parameters? I'm using PerlApp myself and never had any problems with Win32::Daemon myself. And I do have quite a few services using that module compiled to EXEs. Anyway try to force pp to include the ...\perl\site\lib\auto\Win32\Daemon\Daemon.dll

P.S.: You might want to consider Win32::Daemon::Simple. Not that it'd help you with this problem, it's a wrapper above Win32::Daemon, but it hides some complexities.
