Perl Executable

vette99 has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hi all, I'm trying to create an executable from my perl script to run on another windows machine. I have no problems creating the executable, but when I bring the .exe file to the target machine that is not running perl I receive the "Can't locate XSLoader.pm in @INC (@INC contains: CODE(0x86a024 .) at -e line 373." error message. The following is the command I used to create my .exe: "pp -o test.exe C:\Perl\hello.pl"

In an attempt to fix this problem I have tried adding this module to the .exe file during at it's creation time.

The .exe file is created on a Windows XP Pro SP2 machine using Perl v5.8.8.822 from ActiveState. Also I am using PAR version 0.980.

Thanks in advance for your assistance.

This used to be a bug with old PAR (0.66?), so make sure you're using the latest. Also, turn debuging on for clues.	[reply]

Not sure how turning debugging on would help. My perl script and it's associated .exe file will work just fine on my development machine where perl is actually installed.	[reply]

Quick question, which version of PAR::Packer are you running? Martin	[reply]
