When I create a perl executable with PAR::Packer (using wxpar), the DLLs are
included in the executable and make the executable very big. The corresponding
Linux libraries and the (old) libraries from
http://www.wxperl.co.uk/repository/package.xml which I used with ActivePerl are
much smaller.
Is it possible to strip the libraries and DLLs, if I don't want to debug the Wx
code?
