You suggested writing to Steffen Muller to check the basename of $cc because, to restate the problem, I cannot by hand do pp --gui --icon hi.ico -o hello.exe hello.pl because my MinGW's cc is not /^gcc\b/i, which is what is looked for. This also causes the 31st of the t/20-pp.t test file to fail, which is the same thing I am trying to do by hand above. My cc is not necessarily gcc, either, as I use a Microsoft compiler sometimes, too. I am sure others do, too. Recompiling ActiveState perl to get a module to work does not seem the way to go. Steffen, can you alter the Par::Packer code to check what cc is in use? My Windows XP ActiveState Perl 5.10.1 gets the error Can't call method "remove" on an undefined value at C:/Perl/site/lib/Win32/Exe.pm line 220, as reported in the rt bug.
