led me to look at downgrading Module::ScanDeps
When I downgrade to Module::ScanDeps 0.73 using:
cpan> install S/SM/SMUELLER/Module-ScanDeps-0.73.tar.gz
I can successfully run with the following command line
pp -r -o gtk_test.exe gtk_test.pl ^
--lib c:\strawberry\perl\vendor\lib ^
-l c:\strawberry\perl\site\lib\auto\Cairo\Cairo.dll ^
-l c:\strawberry\perl\site\lib\auto\Glib\Glib.dll ^
-l c:\strawberry\perl\site\lib\auto\Pango\Pango.dll ^
-l c:\strawberry\perl\site\lib\auto\Gtk2\Gtk2.dll
Manually specifying the libraries is required. This fails in
Module::ScanDeps 0.74 and the latest release, 0.96. It's not clear to
me though if this is actually a Module::ScanDeps bug.
Comparing the two archives I get:
Only in 0.74/lib/auto/Glib: Glib.dll
Only in 0.74/lib/auto/Gtk2: Gtk2.dll
Only in 0.74/lib/auto/Pango: Pango.dll
Only in 0.74/lib: gtk_test.pl
diff -r 0.73/MANIFEST 0.74/MANIFEST

That is, in the working version the dlls are included in the shlib
directory. In the non-working version they are included in both the
shlib directory and lib/auto/
