This ... `Can't locate Config_heavy.pl in @INC (@INC contains: CODE(0xa9ae64) .)` ... is really strange. The code ref should not be there, and the standard include directories are missing. Perhaps your Perl installation is broken? Alexander -- Today I will gladly share my knowledge and experience, for there are no sweeter words than "I told you so". ;-)	[reply] [d/l]

Which version of PAR are you using? Sine version 0.97 (May 2008, nine releases ago) pp has been part of PAR::Packer. I just tested this on a Win2k3 box with Strawberry Perl v.5.10.0, installed PAR::Packer via `cpan`, and have successfully created an executable from a 'hello world' script without any error messages. Hope this helps, Martin	[reply] [d/l]

Thank you PAR::Packer worked, so here's the real question. I have a script I need to make into an exe. Ive compiled it like so: pp -o exename perlscript exe runs fine on any machine that has perl installed, but I need to run it on hosts without perl. When running from a host that doesnt have perl i get the following: `C:\Temp>cam_reset.exe Server returned error: 501 Protocol scheme 'https' is not supported (C +rypt::SSLe ay not installed)` [download] Script makes a ssl connection to a device and performs a post. Script is using the following: use HTTP::Request::Common qw(POST GET); use HTTP::Headers; use LWP::UserAgent; use MIME::Base64; SSLleay and openssl were installed on the host the script was complied on. How do I get past this error?	[reply] [d/l]
