PAR::Packer issuing pp utility

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

I am having the same issue as the persons in this post but I am not sure how they fixed the issue.
http://www.perlmonks.org/?node_id=920335

My goal is to have a stand alone .exe file and have all my modules packaged to use on a windows machine without perl. I know there are alternatives; however, I would really like to solve my problem.

My error is:
The locale codeset (cp1252) isn't one that perl can decode, stopped at Encode/Locale.pm line 94.
Compilation failed in require at LWP/UserAgent.pm line 1000.
Compilation failed in require at script/pan_pcap.pl line 14.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at script/pan_pcap.pl line 14.

Below is the command I am running I am using the -gui switch as my program uses the Tk module. I am not sure if I am defining where to search for modules correctly. The documentation and examples are few and far between from my googling online.

pp -gui pan_pcap.pl -I=C:\strawberry\perl\lib:C:\strawberry\perl\site\lib:C:\strawberry\perl\vendor\lib -o pan_pcap.exe

You mention The locale codeset (cp1252) isn't one that perl can decode (see What shortcuts can I use for linking to other information?) yet you've not taken the advice from that thread which helped to resolve the problem, and you've not shown the code you're tring to pack. Use the -x option. If required extract the exe (as you would a zip file) and determine exactly what it has packed, adding the modules specifically with -M. See pp and http://par.perl.org for more information.	[reply]

Listing your strawberry libs isn't necessary. Note that -gui isn't correct. It should be two dashes. `pp -o pan_pcap.exe --gui pan_pcap.pl` [download]	[reply] [d/l]

Ok I am making some progress here. I now get the below error I checked the line in my script and it makes sense it fails on line 176 which is. $mech->get($url1); The below error is what I am seeing. It seems there is an ssl packaging issue with par::packer. Any help is greatly appreciated. The script does run without issue on its own. par-72773535353232\cache-774d2fb475c0548a2f1f82c08f9089c67351353c\bdd0b316.dll' for module Net::SSLeay: load_file:The specified module could not be found (LWP::Protocol::https not installed) at script/pan_pcap.pl line 176	[reply]

It's not a par problem. You have to have installed LWP::Protocol::https before running pp.	[reply]
