After an afternoon of reading docs, experimenting, and hair-pulling, I am giving up on PAR and PP, for much the same reason that I don't use Perl2Exe. It doesn't seem to work, or works unreliably, for this program. At this level of program complexity (Tk, Win32, SAPI, OLE, etc) it just seems to break. I tested some simpler programs that seem to work fine when compiled to an EXE using PP, but this one is just too complex.

What I want is simply a simply way to install Active Perl, along with a list of PM's, all of which are in the Active PPM, and then drop my files into the appropriate directories. I had hoped that PAR could do that, but alas, it does not seem to quite do what I need.

Thanks for all the help, but sadly, no joy.
