PP - am I crazy or what!?

michaelg has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hi Monks,

I'm using pp (PAR.75) in order to create a stand alone exe
I run 'pp -B -o rgp rgp.pl'
OK it seems wonderful , it run on every station that we have
but when I ran it on other stations (i.e not
connected in any way ) I got messages that include my perl path :
PAR::_run_member('Archive::Zip::ZipFileMember=HASH(0x55114c)') called at ../blib/lib/PAR.pm line 189
PAR::import('PAR') called at par.pl line 680
eval {...} called at par.pl line 165
__par_pl::BEGIN() called at /users/michaelg/perl-5.8.0/lib/5.8.0/sun4-solaris/Tk/Dialog.pm line 0

my path regarding perl is:
/users/michaelg/perl-5.8.0/bin/
/users/michaelg/perl-5.8.0/PAR-0.75/blib/script/
/users/michaelg/perl-5.8.0/Tk804.025/blib/script/

The whole thing seems fishy ,so I grep the exe output
file and I got this :
rgp:#line 2 "/users/michaelg/perl-5.8.0/lib/site_perl/5.8.0/Archive/Zip.pm"
rgp:## Configured by : michaelg
rgp:archlibexp='/users/michaelg/perl-5.8.0/lib/5.8.0/sun4-solaris'
rgp:installarchlib='/users/michaelg/perl-5.8.0/lib/5.8.0/sun4-solaris'
rgp:installprivlib='/users/michaelg/perl-5.8.0/lib/5.8.0'
rgp:prefix='/users/michaelg/perl-5.8.0'
rgp:privlibexp='/users/michaelg/perl-5.8.0/lib/5.8.0'
rgp:archlib='/users/michaelg/perl-5.8.0/lib/5.8.0/sun4-solaris'
rgp:bin='/users/michaelg/perl-5.8.0/bin'
rgp:binexp='/users/michaelg/perl-5.8.0/bin'
rgp:cf_by='michaelg'

does any of you know how to make the exe pure stand alone

Thnks Guys

update: I did experience some issues with the latest version of Tk (Tk804.025_beta2), so it may be related somehow (just guessing).

F.I. I used

use Tk;
[download]

use Tk;
use Tk::Menubutton;
use Tk::Text;
use Tk::FileSelect;
[download]

use IO::File;
use File::Find;
[download]

When I included the extra modules my standalone exe worked like a charm. I found out which modules were missing by running the exe from the commandline on a machine on which I have no perl installed. The error output tell you the missing modulename. In your case you have to include at least;
