It works well.

I found the problem. That is my program :
#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;
use Carp;
use PDF::API2;
print "Hello";
PDF::API2 needs UnicodeData.txt.
PDF::API2::Resource::Font::BdFont.pm line 45 calls Unicode::UCD
in Unicode::UCD ( line 95), it searches the UnicodeData.txt in @Inc
(@INC : C:/Perl/site/lib C:/Perl/lib .) and this file in Actiperl5.12 is
in C:\Perl\lib\unicore.
When we create a .exe with Perl. The INC changes and the program
searches this file in temp directory (par-xxx). But I create my .exe
using -C option that deletes this temp directory. That is why .exe
didn't find the unicode file.
Then, it is not a bug, but be careful when you use -C option (with pp)
when you add modules that need txt files.
Best regards,
Djibril
