Do you have the line use Crypt::SSLeay in your script? I notice you are not supplying it (it being Crypt::SSLeay) as a -M argument in the above pp line. See Re^4: https, Crypt::SSLeavy and perl packager combined together for further information and let me know how you get on.

I don't have access to a windows machine since I'm currently at home, so I can't test this.

Update: Fixed typo, Crypt::SSLeay

Cheers,

Ok, so if I include use Crypt::SSLeay, in the script before building the exe, it works fine on the host with perl and all the modules installed, but on a host without perl, I now get this message below. Before I was including the dlls with the exe for each machine that would use the exe, but following your link I can include the dlls with the exe thank you.

More info:
Options tried for compile:
pp -l C:\WINNT\system32\libeay32.dll -l C:\WINNT\system32\ssleay32.dll -M Crypt::SSLeay cam_reset.pl -o cam_reset.exe
Including -M Crypt:SSLeay appears to make no difference. On machines where perl is not installed, Exe produces:
Server returned error: 501 Protocol scheme 'https' is not supported (Crypt::SSLeay not installed)
Including use Crypt::SSLeay; in source script exe produces:
Can't load 'C:\DOCUME~1\user\LOCALS~1\Temp\user\cache-956f4474c8469d5dc52a0b30e6e115813cf9edc8\b58c32ab.dll' for module Crypt::SSLeay: load_file:This application has failed to start because the application configuration is incorrect.

It appears that everything needed by the script gets loaded on the client (no perl installed) machine to C:\DOCUME~1\user\LOCALS~1\Temp\par-user, included dlls, SSL crypt, etc. Part of the script:
