Hello. I am trying to use pp to package a script that makes use of Image::ExifTool. I'm using ActivePerl on Win32.
When I just try to run pp ie (pp -o PicasaTest.exe PicassaNoGui.pl), I get an executable, but when I try to run it, it returns the following error:
"Error while attempting to call Image::ExifTool::SetNewValue
Can't locate Image/ExifTool/Writer.pl in @INC (@INC contains: C:\Users
+\TOMSMI~1\
AppData\Local\Temp\par-Tom_Smith\cache-1e66579c8cce873c221e2c86b830550

+l 19) line
 1, <PICASAFILE> line 13."

So, I try to run pp with a command to include the file:
pp -a C:\Perl\site\lib\Image\ExifTool\Writer.pl

[download]
Which pp does, according to its output:
"adding C:/Perl/site/lib/Image/ExifTool/Writer.pl as Perl/site/lib/Ima
+ge/ExifTool/Writer.pl"

[download]
However, when I run the resulting exe, I get the same error as above.
Any ideas? Thanks! Tom
