Not anymore :) In fact loading of XS modules (i.e. the DLLs) has been broken for _all_ platforms with Perl 5.14.0, because 5.14.0 (actually starting with 5.13.6) changed XSLoader.pm. This causes the hack used by PAR::Packer to intercept loading of XS DLLs to fail. You won't notice until you run the packed executable on a machine without a Perl installation (or a suitably different Perl), because failing to intercept it will load the DLLs from the installed Perl instead. nikos doesn't use Perl 5.14.0, but Strawberry 5.12.3.0 has elected to include the modified XSLoader.pm (from 5.13.6 onward) in lieu of the one included in Perl 5.12.3. Please try the attached patch to PAR::Packer, should make the hack work on both old and new versions of XSLoader.pm. Note: you must rebuild and reinstall PAR::Packer and then repack executables to see any effect. Cheers, Roderich
