I am attempting to package a GTK program of hello world complexity
(attached).

Using Strawberry Perl v5.10.1 and the latest CPAN GTK libraries.
The program works when executed from Perl directly.
The PAR packaging works when done in Linux (for Linux).
Running Windows XP.

Cracking the ZIP file open manually I can see the four GTK dlls are
present, though they have been moved from site\lib\auto\ in the Perl
tree to just lib\auto\ in the PAR file.


Manually adding the libraries on the command line produced a different
error. I'm not sure if it's the same issue failing at a different spot
or a different problem.

If you are attempting to recreate this I saw reports online that the
same issue occured with Camelbox Perl, which has the GTK libraries
bundled with it. Installing GTK from CPAN was a bit fiddly.
