I am surprised to see that you didn't get some temp directories in @INC. I ran
your
example as:
pp -o test.exe test.pl
test.exe
and I get this:
Couldn't find Net/OSCAR/XML/Protocol.xml in search path: CODE(0xf4a4c4)
c:\temp\par-astewart\cache-9b308115a04e22eb1b1c3b89c30a5c67d19db5b0/inc/lib
c:\temp\par-astewart\cache-9b308115a04e22eb1b1c3b89c30a5c67d19db5b0/inc
CODE(0xdbcfc0) . at Net/OSCAR.pm line 142
What options are you running pp with? Perl version / PAR version ?

If you had seen what I see, you could make Protocol.xml show up in the
temp\par-user\cache-xxxx\inc\lib directory by using:
pp -o test.exe -a
perl\site\lib\net\oscar\xml\Protocol.xml;lib\Net\OSCAR\XML\Protocol.xml
test.pl
and load_xml() will find it. Likewise for Protocol.dtd and Protocol.parsed-xml.
That's a hell of a command line with three long -a options, so you could put:
perl\site\lib\net\oscar\xml\Protocol.xml;lib\Net\OSCAR\XML\Protocol.xml
perl\site\lib\net\oscar\xml\Protocol.dtd;lib\Net\OSCAR\XML\Protocol.dtd
perl\site\lib\net\oscar\xml\Protocol.parsed-xml;lib\Net\OSCAR\XML\Protocol.parsed-xml
into a file called OSCAR_XML.lst and then :
pp -o test.exe -A OSCAR_XML.lst test.pl

This is not the only Module that uses non-.pm stuff inside the installed lib.
That's
one of the situations -a or -A exists for.
