Does an exe generated by App-Packer includes perl58.dll?

kamesh3183 has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Dear monks,

I am successful in generating an exe using App-Packer module(p2e.pl). Now my question is, does this exe requires any extra dlls to execute on the machine where Perl isn't installed?

Thanks
Kamesh

As far as I am aware, correct me if I'm wrong, App::Packer has evolved into the module PAR (see my review linked). Certainly, the PAR distribution injects modules into the App::Packer namespace. Answering your question for PAR and Windows, the answer is definitely no - a PAR executable contains everything you need - no external perl .dll is required.
