Or next step upgrade to a supported version of perl (5.14 is expired) and upgrade as much of everything (PAR/Tk...) as you can :)

It spat out 3000 lines of stuff. I can't make much sense of it except for the last line: "Exited "OPENFILE_TEST.EXE" (process 0x18AC) with code -1073741819 (0xC0000005)." This is the same error code I posted above (access violation).
I should note that if I move the open out of the sub, it works. Like so:


# BITS OF CODE CHOPPED OFF

my $buttbrowse = $bin_win -> Button(-text=>"Browse", -command => sub {
+filepicker}) -> pack(-pady => 20);


open (OUT, ">:encoding(UTF-8)", "c:/test/filepath.txt") or print "Can'
+t open file: $!";    # this fails when the script is packed into an e
+xe with PAR::Packer
print OUT "File path: how would I know if I get printed before the sub
+ runs?";
close OUT;




MainLoop;

Of course this doesn't fix the problem because the variable I want to print to the file is filled in by the sub. But it does indicate something about the error perhaps. I would like to know if this error occurs for other people. I'd think not.

I already saw that one, it doesn't mean anything, it means "access denied to memory", so try looking at the line above

or watch it in visual mode of depends ... like shown in one of the links, the errorings shows up in read, so look at last one, look above ...

I should note that if I move the open out of the sub, it works.

That would make me assume the encoding modules/files weren't packed completely or the wrong one is picked up or something else entirely ...

The next steps are exactly the same as I outlined in my previous linksss
