Thanks for your post. I'll give the cava packager a try.

But fortunately I found a solution to this pp challenge myself.

  1. Create par consisting of main_script and its helper scripts with all their dependencies:

    pp -p -o perl_app.par main_script.pl helper_script1.pl helper_script2.pl

  2. Open perl_app.par with an archive program and add to the /script folder a main.pl file.

    main.pl:

    if (defined $ENV{PAR_APP_REUSE}) {
    warn "Executable was created without the --reusable option. See 'p
+erldoc pp'.\n";
    exit(1);
}

my $zip = $PAR::LibCache{$ENV{PAR_PROGNAME}} || Archive::Zip->new(__FI
+LE__);
my $member = eval { $zip->memberNamed('script/main_script.pl') }
        or die qq(main.pl: Can't open perl script "script/main_script.
+pl": No such file or directory ($zip));

PAR::_run_member($member, 1);

  3. Create perl_app.exe as follows:

    pp -o perl_app.exe perl_app.par

In the main_script you can then call the helper_scripts as follows (example with helper_script1.pl):

my $cmd;
if ( defined $ENV{PAR_TEMP} )
{
    $cmd = "perl $ENV{PAR_TEMP}/inc/script/helper_script1.pl";
}
else
{
    $cmd = "perl helper_script1.pl";
}

# execute cmd
