I tried your script + XML file here on Linux and it worked fine when packed as executable with pp. For purely cosmetic reasons, I suggest changing the first few lines to use strict; use XML::Simple; $XML::Simple::PREFERRED_PARSER = "XML::SAX::PurePerl"; to force usage of XML::SAX::PurePerl. For pp you still must add the line use XML::SAX::PurePerl; or invoke pp with "pp -M XML::SAX::PurePerl ..." so that this module gets included into the executable - it's arguably a deficiency of Module::ScanDeps that it doesn't detect this automatically. Anyway, I can't reproduce this problem. Please check that lib/XML/SAX/PurePerl.pm is included in your executable with unzip -l your.exe (you can get a Windows version of unzip from http://www.info-zip.org/pub/infozip/ or - if you have Cygwin installed - just install the unzip package) As for the "The procedure entry point PL_memory_wrap could not be located in the dynamic link library perl58.dll", this has come up several times already. The reason is most likely that your installed version of perl and the version of perl that your PAR package was built with are different. "Version" in this context may mean any of the following: - the version number of perl (perl -v) - the compile time options used to build perl (see Perl -V) - the C compiler used to build perl This should probably be in the FAQ: Using pp from a PAR built with one version (in above sense) of perl with another version of perl may show the same problems as using binary modules built from one version of perl with another version. (AFAICT, the latter is what's actually happening: pp literally contains some binary stuff from the perl it was built with that will be copied into the pp'ed exutable together with stuff from the local perl installation.)
