wolfger has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

After reading this node, I decided to check out PAR pp for making binaries out of perl scripts on Windows.
After manually installing the many dependancies of pp, I finally got down to an error I could not figure out. At least, not without spending the kind of time I just don't have at the moment. PAR::Packer dieing with the message "Can't find par loader at C:/Perl/lib/PAR/Packer.pm line 101."
The line in question is $self->{parl} ||= $self->_can_run("parl$Config{_exe}")
Any learned monks with an idea what my problem may be? I'm trying this on a Win2K box with ActiveState perl 5.8.0, if that helps. I installed the latest versions of PAR, PAR::Packer, Module::ScanDeps, PAR::Filter, and App::Packer::PAR.

    How did you install PAR via ppm?

      I installed PAR by downloading the source from CPAN and saving it to the appropriate directory on my laptop.

        If you are using activestate then do the following to instal PAR:

        Start->All Programs->ActiveState ActivePerl 5.x
        Run the Perl Package Manager
        type the command "Install PAR"

        That will download and install the binary package for PAR and you wil be good to go.
