I am trying to build an .exe out of a (ActivePerl 5.8.822) Perl program that uses Template Toolkit (2.20). The most successful by far has been with a trial Perl2Exe from IndigoStar, but this tool fails to load Template Toolkit.

Has anyone successfully used Perl2Exe with the Template Toolkit? What special magic is required?

I have pasted a much simplified session below. Thank you,
John Elion 

C:\p2xtest>type x.pl
use strict;
use Template;

# needed for perl2exe
use Template::Base;
use Template::Context;
use Template::Plugins;
use Template::Filters;

my $tpl = Template->new()
or die (" Can't init template ");
print "OK\n";

C:\p2xtest>x.pl
OK

C:\p2xtest>\p2x\perl2exe x.pl
<headers removed>
