After much investigation the problem appears to be with what is packaged with pp itself.
The simplest test I can come up with is as follows: echo " " > dummy.pl pp dummy.pl Now, copy a.out over to client machine and I receive the following error: "dualvar" is not exported by the Scalar::Util module Can't continue after import errors at /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.5/Compress/Zlib.pm line 9 BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.5/Compress/Zlib.pm line 9. Compilation failed in require at -e line 360.

Please reduce the problem to a simple example that you can post here, error messages without the code that produced them are worthless. BTW, ' "dualvar" is not exported by the Scalar::Util module' is actually produced by Exporter::Heavy.
