Hello,

I'm relatively new to Perl and PP but am hoping someone can point me in the right direction. I'm trying to create a completely self-contained Perl executable using pp. I'm running pp on a CentOS box: 

pp -o client.out client.pl

[download]
client.out then runs fine on the CentOS box. However if I move client.out over to a SUSE box, it complains of not being able to find DynaLoader:

# ./client.out
Can't load '/tmp/par-root/cache-12f562c1eb5356c7f67e68c6c9c351689d3bc6

If I run the pp command on SUSE, the executable works fine on the SUSE box. I'm thinking based on that error that it's a problem with finding the shared library DynaLoader.pm which resides in a different directory on SUSE than on CentOS (although I tried sym linking and that didn't seem to fix the issue). However, I'd like it to not use shared libraries at all and be completely self-contained even if Perl wasn't installed on the box.

When unzipping the client.out (since it appears pp just zips it up) it looks like everything is there:

...
inflating: lib/Crypt/SSLeay.pm
inflating: lib/Crypt/SSLeay/CTX.pm
inflating: lib/Crypt/SSLeay/Conn.pm
inflating: lib/Crypt/SSLeay/Err.pm
inflating: lib/Crypt/SSLeay/MainContext.pm
inflating: lib/Crypt/SSLeay/X509.pm
...
inflating: lib/DynaLoader.pm
...

However it doesn't seem to be using that and still goes after a shared library.

Any help would be appreciated!
