Not necessary as I can reproduce your problem here after a clean install of the Strawberry 5.12.3.0 MSI + "cpan -i PAR::Packer" BTW, my Strawberry says (different from yours) > perl -V ... %ENV: PERL_JSON_BACKEND="JSON::XS" PERL_YAML_BACKEND="YAML" @INC: C:/strawberry/perl/site/lib C:/strawberry/perl/vendor/lib C:/strawberry/perl/lib . Preliminary findings: - running "perl extract-embedded.pl show-inc.exe ..." shows that indeed IO.dll is missing - in fact the FILE stuff (cf. http://search.cpan.org/~smueller/PAR-1.002/lib/PAR/Tutorial.pod#Anatomy_of_a_Self-Contained_PAR_executable) in show-inc.exe contains no DLL except Win32.dll (would have at least expected IO.dll, Cwd.dll, Zlib.dll, Glob.dll, possibly others) - myldr/parl.exe (in the PAR-Packer build directory) (which is the "prototypical" packed executable) _does_ contain the above DLLs Puzzled, Roderich
