That propbably explains why it worked for me (English vs German messages?),
though my exe/zip didn't contain Win32::WinError either.

This runtime check and fallback code is likely obsolete as Win32::TieRegistry
states in its META.yml
requires:
Carp: 0
Tie::Hash: 0
Win32::WinError: 0
Win32API::Registry: 0.33
perl: 5.006
Anyway, the interesting question for me is: why didn't PAR::Packer
take the above line as a clue to pack Win32::WinError into the executable.
I'll fix this in Module::ScanDeps (which PAR::Packer uses to analyze the
dependencies of your script).
Thanks for following up. Cheers,
Roderich
