momo33 has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hello Perlmonks,

This may be an ActiveStatePerl issue, not Perl. I asked them, but I have no idea when they respond. So I would like to ask you.

I have a problem with DateTime and PerlApp. My script runs fine with the Perl interpreter, no errors. Unfortunately it fails when I pack it with PerlApp. Does anyone know where to start searching? Thank you for any help! 
#!/usr/bin/perl
use DateTime;
my $now = DateTime->now();
print "$now\n";


C:\Rr>test1
Can't locate DateTime/Locale/en_US.pm in @INC (@INC contains:) at (eva
+l 915) line 3.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at envision_test1.pl line 9.


Perl: AS 5.10.0 build 1005
DateTime: 0.50
PerlApp: 7.2.0

    It's not an ActiveState issue, but an omission in your script.

    #!/usr/bin/perl

use DateTime;
my $now = DateTime->now( locale => 'en_US' );
print "$now\n";

      This solved part of the problem. Thank you. As you will understand, this was not the real issue. The problem-script is a rather large one (140kB).

      When the script packed with perlapp is started, the output is: 
      $ ./test

        Please provide shortest program possible that will replicate that error, and perlapp command used, so that we can try to help.
