Sorry, I can't reproduce this here, but I don't have exactly the same setup as you (at least Windows XP vs Vista). As your experiments show the most likely cause is the custom perl interpreter used by the packed executable or the few "essential" modules that it uses during bootstrap. Did you build PAR::Packer yourself or installed it vis ppm? If the latter: can you try to build PAR::Packer from source (including running "dmake test"), install it, then re-pack bug2.pl and try the resulting executable? Cheers, Roderich
