If you have the Tk::PNG module installed, you *do* have these DLLs
installed, otherwise your script wouldn't have run before packing it.
But the actual names may be slightly different depending on your
Strawberry version. For 5.16.3
--link libpng15-15_.dll --link zlib1_.dll
should do the trick.

BTW, it's not a bug. PAR::Packer doesn't automagically pack
required non-perl DLLs.
