Hi monks, I'm trying to package up a Perl script --- Module::ScanDeps' own scandeps.pl --- along with its dependencies, so I can easily run it on another machine that lacks these dependencies.

Using PAR, there are two options: create a Perl script, or create a stand-alone executable.

Trying to create a Perl script with 
pp -P -B -o scandeps.par.pl `which scandeps.pl`
I get 
$ perl ~/scandeps.par.pl 7tmr_stats_updater.pl 
No such file or directory at /work/software/perlbrew/perls/current/bin/par.pl line 855.
I had expected a standalone script to not depend on par.pl, but maybe I misunderstood. Trying to create a stand-alone executable with 
pp -o scandeps `which scandeps.pl`
fails because the target machine's glibc is older than the one on the build machine, so the perl that pp embeds cannot run.

Is there a way I can package scandeps.pl with all its (Perl) dependencies, and run the resulting bundle with the target machine's perl?
