Dear fellow monks,
I am trying to create a standalone perl executable for a Perl/Tk application. To this aim, I used the pp command with the -l option in order to include all required modules:

pp -vvv -l C:\Perl\lib -l C:\Perl\site\lib -o program.pl program.exe
[download]

When I try to run my exe, I get the following error:

Can't locate POSIX.pm in @INC (@INC contains: CODE(0x1f0ef80) C:\Users
+\ADMINI~1\AppData\Local\Temp\par-Administrator\cache-17f4ea2f953b4df5
+d967d28be8eb4c9a4937753f\inc\lib C:\Users\ADMINI~1\AppData\Local\Temp
+\par-Administrator\cache-17f4ea2f953b4df5d967d28be8eb4c9a4937753f\inc
+ CODE(0x17c5f40) CODE(0x17c60b4)) at script/program.pl line 37.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at script/program.pl line 37.
[download]

Then I specifically tried adding the POSIX module to my pp command as follows:

pp -vvv -l C:\Perl\lib -l C:\Perl\site\lib -a C:\Perl\lib\POSIX.pm -o 
+program.pl program.exe
[download]

I see the module being added as command runs :

\site\bin/pp: ... adding C:/Perl/lib/POSIX.pm as Perl/lib/POSIX.pm
[download]

but I get the same error at runtime.

My OS is Windows Vista Home Premium, I have just updated cpan with the latest updates, I have ActivePerl-5.8.8.822-MSWin32-x86-280952 and finally got PAR::Packer 0.982 from cpan. If of any use, the starting bit of my program.pl with the module requirements is as follows

use threads;
use threads::shared;

#setup thread code before any Tk code
my $thread_data1 : shared;
$thread_data1;
my $thread_die1 : shared;
$thread_die1 = 0;
my $thread_go1 : shared;
$thread_go1 = 0;
my $thread1 = threads->new(\&work);

my $thread_data2 : shared;
$thread_data2;
my $thread_die2 : shared;
$thread_die2 = 0;
my $thread_go2 : shared;
$thread_go2 = 0;
my $thread_user2 : shared;
$thread_user2;
my $thread_pass2 : shared;
$thread_pass2;
my $thread2 = threads->new(\&setconn);

use Time::HiRes;
use Tk;
use Tk::Icon;
use Tk::TopLevel;
#use Tk::ProgressBar;
use utf8;
use Win32;
use Win32::TieRegistry;
use Win32::OLE('in');
use Win32::OLE qw(EVENTS);
use Net::UPnP::ControlPoint;
use Net::Telnet;
use POSIX":sys_wait_h";

I would highly appreciate any help as I 've been looking at this since yesterday and am at a total loss!

Regards,
Athanasia
