I have a par Windows executable created by pp -o ExecutableName.exe
perl-script.pl


It runs fine under Windows 2000 and Windows XP, but at least one Windows 98
user is reporting a problem;

When the executable is run, it fails with the following message:
creation of C:\WINDOWS\TEMP\par-*\cache-long-hex-looking-number/perl58.dll
failed - aborting with 2.

0where the asterisk is apparently really character 12 (0xC), the Form Feed
symbol, displayed to the user as the female symbol, and
"long-hex-looking-number" is, in fact, a long number consisting of the
digits 0-9, a-f.

On my Windows 2000 system, the creation of perl58.dll appears to occur in a
directory the parent directory of which is par-<logged-in user name>.

The par'd executable in question can be found at

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Tom
