Can't locate object method "new" via package "Win32::Exe"

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

Great Monks,
I am facing problem in replacing the default icon of exe generated by pp.
When I am using the command:
">pp -o SPAT2.exe -c Main_V3.pl -a S_Parse"
SPAT2.exe is generated with camel icon.

with --icon Icon.ico added into the command line as shown below,
">pp --icon Icon.ico -o SSAT2.exe -c Main_V3.pl -a S_Parse"
I am getting the following error:
Can't locate object method "new" via package "Win32::Exe" at c:/perl/lib/PAR/Packer.pm line 1263, <$fh> line 1.

I searched the Win32\Exe.pm and not found the definition of "new" method. Although there are multiple expample of usage of
"Win32::Exe->new($filename);" in the documentation.

Can you tell me why there is no definition of "Win32::Exe->new($filename)"
and also what is missing in my case?

Given our conversations in the CB today about this issue, could you please describe what you did to 'manually' install this module? You may also want to read the PPM documentation which explains how to configure it to work with firewalls.	[reply]

It doesn't matter why your installation of Win32::Exe is broken, simply re-install Win32::Exe. `$ cpan Win32::Exe or $cpanp i Win32::Exe` [download] http://search.cpan.org/dist/Win32-Exe/README Installing Modules	[reply] [d/l]

It was indeed a problem with the PAR installation. Re-installing the PAR::Packer has solved the icon problem. I used: `CPAN> install PAR::Packer` this installed a fresh copy of PAR. thnaks for your hint.	[reply] [d/l]
