in thread pp generated exe can't find DLL when using OLE

No. That error message is generated by DynaLoader (specifically dl_load_file). It's saying that it can't load nDCEaSeL9M.dll for Win32::OLE due to a system error (ERROR_PROC_NOT_FOUND).

DaleCooper needs to turn on the env var PERL_DL_DEBUG to see if he can get some debugging messages, and/or examine his system logs (in EventViewer).

I run a Win32 PPM repository for perl 5.6.x and 5.8.x -- I take requests (README).

    Thanks, guys.

    The set PERL_DL_DEBUG=true got me started. Strange thing was that the OLE.DLL is where things were going P*P.

    When I ran the pp command in verbose mode and with the PERL_DL_DEBUG, OLE.dll is never mentioned, even though I have explicitly refered to it in the pp command line?

    pp -v -B -l "C:\Perl\site\lib\auto\Win32\OLE\OLE.dll" -M Win32:OLE -o 
+PatchMeThese.exe PatchMeThese.pl

    I then ran PPM to query which version of OLE I had. PPM couldn't find Win32-OLE or OLE, so I simply installed, run the PP command the output was a working exe.

    Strange but fixed.

    Many Thanks,

    Dale
