Hi Gurus,
I am trying to create a freestanding executable in Windows using PerlApp - 5.2.0 build 520 and perl 5.8.3. The script contains the following lines: 
use strict;
use LWP::UserAgent;

while(1)
{
sleep 2;
}

[download]

The command line used to create the executable is:

Perlapp --verbose test.pl


This gives the following verbose output on compilation: 
PerlApp 5.2.0 build 520

Please run `perlapp.exe --help DIAGNOSTICS` for more information

Created 'test.exe'

On running the executable, I end up in following error:
/PerlApp/strict.pm did not return a true value.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at test.pl line 1.

Can anyone comment what can be the reason for this problem? If I remove the pod line from LWP::UserAgent ( =head1 NAME..... ), the executable works fine. What's the mystery behind this?


I am giving here the output of Perl -V's @INC for reference:
