I'm not very familiar with pp, since I haven't used it much myself. However, I think what might be happening is that your Perl environment is looking in some places for Perl modules that pp apparently is not.

Try to locate the LibXSLT.pm file on your system. It should be somewhere under the directory that Perl was installed into. Based on your error message, it will be in a folder named XML. The folder that the XML folder is in should have some other folders and possibly some .pm files too from other modules. This folder's full path is the path that you need to tell pp to include in it's search path for modules by using the -I (or --lib) option.

One more quick note. Hopefully that path does not have any blank spaces in a folder/directory name. If it does, you'll probably need to encapsulate the path in double-quotes.

Hopefully, this should fix your problem. By the way, have you tested the script itself? If not, you should do so. I don't believe that the module that you're trying to use is a core module. If it wasn't bundled in the Strawberry Perl distribution, you'll need to install it. (If you can't find the LibXSLT.pm file on your system, that's a good indication that you don't have the module installed.)

LibXML/LibXSLT comes with strawberryperl 5.12

If you use

unzip -d test test.exe
[download]

you can see exactly every file that was packed (you could get similar list with verbose option ( pp -v)

For me using

use XML::LibXSLT;
print `Listdlls.exe  $$`; # sysinternals.com
[download]

shows plenty of files files that pp doesn't pack, that you have to add manually . Its all the files outside of the perl directory, namely lib*xsl* , as usually you can ignore the \WINDOWS files

How do I add the files I need while creating exe? I tried "-A" option but "pp" complains.


C:\>pp -A C:\strawberry\perl\vendor\lib\auto\XML\LibXSLT\LibXSLT.xs.dl
+l --lib=c:\strawberry\perl\vendor\lib\XML -o testexe test.pl
No Perl script found in input
[download]

Thanks for your suggestion. I tried all that but still no use
The XML::LibXSLT module is available with the installation. My perl script is working perfectly.


C:\>pp --lib=c:\strawberry\perl\vendor\lib\XML -M XML::LibXML -M XML::
+LibXSLT -o test.exe test.pl
[download]

I tried this but still the exe fails with the same error message.
