in reply to Problem with Image::ExifTool and pp

Hi, since no one has helped you out with a direct answer, I'll subject you to one of my vague proto-answers.

Have you tried using pp to build a "hello world" app or similar? Make sure you do that. Then, if it still doesn't work, make something progressively more complex until it breaks. Then you'll know what's breaking.

    Hey, thanks, yeah pp works fine with a basic app.

    I ran some tests with a less complex version of my full script. The full script uses Tk to implement a GUI--when I got rid of the GUI and ran pp on it with the -x option (where it runs the program to check for extra dependencies), the resulting exe worked fine. However, when I added the GUI back in and tried to run it with -x, pp launched the app with the full GUI, but once I had finished running the app and quit out of it, pp just hung at the command line and never created an exe.

    Maybe there's a way to get it to run with -x on the GUI version?

    I should also point out that this is not unique to pp--I'm getting the same error when I use perl2exe.

      I don't think you want to specify an absolute path for the included modules. Also, I would use -M. So here is an @-file that should work, assuming the exiftool modules are in a directory called 'lib' when you run pp:
