Error while running an exe built using the PP module.

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

Hi, I have a project which i want to convert into an exe and distribute to the users, so i am using the PP module to build the exe and when i run the exe it gives me some errors as below. Even if i convert a small perl file to and exe i get these sort of errors. What is the reason for such errors.As per my understanding when i create an exe using the 'PP' module it parses all the dependencies in my project and creates the exe and when i run on the target machine it extracts the modules and run them? , am i correct ? Below is the error which i get

Its already included, the error message is XML::Parser::Expat: load_file:The specified module could not be found Basically, XML::Parser::Expat was compiled against libexpat.dll instead of the static version, and you have to include libexpat.dll with the -l option See Re: Missing libeay32.dll from an exe generated with pp utility	[reply]

I believe the option M has to be used to create a PAR file, how do i use it to create an exe. ?	[reply]

I believe the option M has to be used to create a PAR file, how do i use it to create an exe. ? It makes no difference the kind of file you're making, but this isn't the problem, see Re^2: Error while running an exe built using the PP module.	[reply]
