Can you verify that Scalar::Util was correctly packed by running
unzip -l file.exe
You should see something like
...
3370 03-30-06 14:12 lib/Scalar/Util.pm
...
28770 11-02-05 09:49 lib/auto/List/Util/Util.dll
(that's right: List/Util/Util.dll is where the XS version of refaddr
comes from)
Note that I couldn't reproduce your problem with the following oneliner
(ActiveState 5.8.7 build 815, PAR 0.92, Scalar::Util 1.14)
pp -o ref.exe -e "use Scalar::Util qw/refaddr/; my $x; my $a=refaddr
\$x; print qq[refaddr=$a\n];"
