With the help of Roderich Schupp I was able to install PAR-Packer-1.005 (had problems with dmake) on strawberry perl 5.12 Windows XP.
I can use pp to produce Windows executables which can be run on other Windows machines without an installed Perl, even Tk is working! But compiled programs with "use IO::Socket::SSL" will not run on other machines: "This application has failed to start because libeay32_.dll was not found." is the error message I see there. My application (*) does https communication. How can I tell pp to include this libeay32_.dll? So far I use: pp -gui -clean -o schwuppdiwupp.exe schwuppdiwupp.pl On my developper machine (with strawberry perl 5.12) everything works fine. But my target machines do not have strawberry perl installed. I need a standalone program.exe with everything "on board".
