I found a few hits on this error, but nothing that clearly applied to my problem. If the answer is already out there, I apologize. Just point me there and I'll go away quietly... ;)

I'm creating a standalone .exe in windows 2000 using pp.
The resulting .exe file runs fine on the system where I created it. But if I copy it to a system where there is no perl installation I get the following error:
"Can't locate XSLoader.pm in @INC (@INC contains: CODE(0x9fb134) .) at -e line 345"

I've run pp with the -l switch and specified all of the perl lib directories. I've also specifically included the XSLoader.pm file with the -a switch. In the verbose output from pp I can see that XSLoader.pm has been included in the archive.
Here's the pp command I used:
pp -vvv -B -l C:\strawberry\perl\lib -l C:\strawberry\perl\site\lib -a C:\strawberry\perl\lib\XSLoader.pm -o crypttest.exe cryptpw.pl

What am I missing?
