Hello!

I'm trying to teach myself Tk, by making a little game. Now I'd like to send it to my sister, so my little nephews can play it, but she doesn't have Perl installed, so I'd like to compile it to an executable (we both have macs). I use the pp tool, and it seems to work just fine on little example programs, but for this one I get errors. I worked out most of the problems, but the last error has me at a loss.

>>> pp -c hopgame
SYSTEM ERROR in compiling hopgame: 11 at /System/Library/Perl/Extras/5
+.18/Module/ScanDeps.pm line 1351.
>>> pp hopgame
/usr/bin/pp5.18: Failed to extract a parl from 'PAR::StrippedPARL::Sta
+tic' to file '/var/folders/y8/p9hddj4d1l7fryf24cz0cd3m0000gn/T/parlpo
+XAzmu' at /System/Library/Perl/Extras/5.18/PAR/Packer.pm line 1152, <
+DATA> line 1.

I guess it's something to do with importing the Tk modules? I don't know what else to do about it. Of course, if there's an easier way to compile to an executable, I'd welcome that too. I have ActivePerl 5.20, Mac OS 10.12.6.
