OK, static analysis (i.e. Module::ScanDeps) didn't detect all necessary Perl modules. Try option -x $ pp -x -o foo.exe foo.pl (note that this will actually run foo.pl once). That did indeed detect the Perl stuff in Iinline/Java for me (and also FindBin). But when I ran foo.exe Java can't find some jars that also came with Inline::Java. So I added the whole subtree below Inline/Java to the exe with $ pp -x -a "c:\Programme\ActivePerl\site\lib\Inline\Java;lib/Inline/Java" -o foo.exe foo.pl That seemed to work, except it used the stuff in .\_Inline that Inline generated behind your back. Of course, that won't work for your customers. Since this is just a cache, Inline will try to regenerate this on the first run of foo.exe (you'll see this if you just blow away .\_Inline). However, that needs a development environment on the executing machine (probably C compiler, nmake, JDK), so won't work for your customers either. I tried to include the stuff in _Inline into the exe, ran into some glitch in PAR::Packer, but finally wrestled pp to put it into the exe. It will get extracted into $PAR_TEMP/inc, I even set $PERL_INLINE_DIRECTORY to $PAR_TEMP/inc/_Inline (in a BEGIN block *before* "use Inline::Java ..."), but Inline still tried to regenerate the _Inline stuff on every invocation of foo.exe. Anyway, this problem isn't specific to Inline::Java, it hits any Inline::* stuff. If memory serves, this came up on the list before, but no real solution emerged. You might want to search the list archives anyway. Cheers, Roderich
