in reply to Perl/Tk exe not working

As gri6507 has suggested, you need to try running it from a command window. To do this, do another build without the --gui option. I take it that running your PAR built .exe works on your home machine.

Also, it might be worth while putting a debug mode, and log statements so that you can get a better idea of what it's doing. Something like Log::Log4perl might be useful here. If you save the output, this might be a useful diagnostic tool for support.

Could you also identify which version of PAR you are running.

    I ran the program without the --gui option and got some good info. The problem seems to be with Encode::Unicode module. Here's what it says: Encode object version 1.99_01 does not match bootstarp parameter 2.09 at......then it lists a whole bunch of places that it failed within the Encode::Unicode module. Is the problem with the version of the Encode::Unicode module? Not really sure what this means.

      This sounds like a UTF-8 problem. There have been big changes to the perl core in this area since 5.6.1.

      Please could you run the following commands on your home machine, and paste the output:

      perl -v
perl -V
perl -MPAR -e "print PAR->VERSION,qq(\n)"
perl -MEncode::Unicode -e "print Encode::Unicode->VERSION,qq(\n)"
