Missing libeay32.dll from an exe generated with pp utility

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

Hello monks, I wrote a script to send an email. I am using Net::SMTP::TLS module.I installed it using cpan.I made an exe of script using pp, it works fine on my machine. When i move it to a different machine it gives missing libeay32.dll.I have come across few nodes in perlmonks but none of them helped me. I am using strawberry perl. I have tried below options: 1.Have placed libeay32.dll file in a folder and added it to path. 2.tried -l c:\openssl\libeay32.dll in pp utility. Nothing seems to work. Any help on how to get rid of this error. Thank you Akhila.

Untested last resort crazy hack. Use LoadLibrary from Win32 on libeay32.dll in a BEGIN block before you use/require Net::SMTP::TLS. Dependencey Walker is probably a tool you should use.	[reply]

I tried using dependacy walker. It says "Error: At least one file was not a 32-bit or 64-bit Windows module."	[reply]

What is the full Dependency Walker log when you start the process using Dependency Walker? Strawberry Perl includes its own libeay and libssl in the c/bin folder. Make your Strawberry Path or what your giving to pp to include in the exe all matches up. I think you are using a libeay dll from something else that isn't strawberry perl. Thats very difficult to support (version/compile time options/cygwin or mingw or VC C lib).	[reply]
