I have attached a perl program and the exe was created with:

pp -o hello.exe -a parinc/cygrunsrv.exe hello.pl

Put an executable (or any file?) in a sub directory called parinc.

I tried different file names other than $0 and if didn't seem to make a difference.

./hello.exe                 fails
hello.exe                     works if on path
/c/scripts/hello.exe     works
c:/scripts/hello.exe        works

Also using PAR::read_file works all the time and this is what I use instead.
