I have been unable to do all this because I can't get the precompiled PAR to work under ActivePerl on the Win 98 box. It has no Internet connection (in fact it's a virtual machine running under Bochs) and pp refuses to work saying it can't find Module::ScanDeps.
Please do the following:
1. Rename test.exe into test.zip
2. Open it with WinZip or WinRAR
3. Save the MANIFEST somewhere
4. Install ActivePerl 5.8.x on the Win98 machine
5. Install PAR on the Win98 machine
6. Make another .exe on the Win98 machine,
using the same "pp test.pl" command.
7. Rename C:\Perl\ away and see if the executable runs.
8. If it does, rename it to .zip and compare its
MANIFEST with the previously saved one.
9. If it does not, send the error message again
on the list, and I'll try to find a Win9x machine
to duplicate that error.
You'll also need to install Module::ScanDeps on the 98.
Cheers, Rob
