I created a gui interface....something to interact with excel files - that's why there's a need for OLE. I am trying to turn it into an exe but there seems to be a problem. I keep getting the same following error: "The procedure entry point Perl_GSV_placeholder_ptr could not be located in the dynamic link library perl58.dll." I've done some searching on the net and there seems to be a problem with OLE and converting to exe's on windows machines. 
My pp line looks like this:
pp --gui -o excel_combine.exe excel_utility.pl

[download]
I seeking help with this. I've just spent three days wrting this utility and I'm really bummed I cannot make it executable. Has anybody experienced this and solved it? Your help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
