Hello all:

Long time reader first time posting =)
I need to convert one of my scripts into an .exe file I'm currently using PAR/pp to do that but I'm in a bit of a bind. My script currently requires the use of a home made module which itself requires 3 txt files. So it should look something like:

myscript.pl
myModule.pm
txt1.txt
txt2.txt
txt3.txt

When I run pp -o my.exe myscript.pl it creates the exe but when I try to run it it says "cant find txt1.txt". But this will work if I have the 3 text files in the same directory as the exe.
My thinking here was to pack the 3 text files along with the module into a PAR and rerun pp but I'm getting the same results.

Any suggestions are welcome

Thank you
