Hello all, i have put this question a few days but didn't got a helping answer. I want to convert a perl script to a executable. My script uses XML::LibXML and if i convert using pp it gives a error when trying to parse a XML file by saying "can't locate XML\LibXML\SAX.pm in @INC. I managed to bypass this error by explicitly including this file using -m "path to module". But when i run the executable it says "Program too big to fit in memory" which can't be a real issue since the exe has 3 MB and i have lots of RAM. I also tried using the Active PerlApp for converting but i got the same issue. I tried using -x as parameter for pp how someone suggested on this site but only got more errors. There is NO PROBLEM with the script which runs fine standalone(not as executable) so i think there is somekind of a linking("including" i think is a better term in this case) problem. I tried "building" with -c but still not works. I'm really thankful for any hints.
