Audrey and Steffen, I recently added PAR Packager CPAN module, version 1.014 (PAR version 1.007) to my Perl build (including all the dependencies) and have been able to create the EXE out of .pl files successfully.
C:\Documents and Settings\kkhatri>pp -o hello.exe hello.pl C:\Documents and Settings\kkhatri>hello Hello world! However, for some weird reason when I try to associate information with the EXE with switches like --icon=hello.ico etc. the EXE gets generated successfully but the icon does not get attached to it: C:\Documents and Settings\kkhatri>pp -o hello.exe --icon hello.ico hello.pl --verbose C:\Documents and Settings\kkhatri>hello Hello world! When trying other options like --info ProductVersion=1.0.0.0, the build simply fails with the error: --info is currently broken, disabling it. I had been referring https://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=80062 but couldn't figure out if Roderich concluded that as a defect which he was not going to fix. Do you know and can you please help me on this? FYI, I am using Windows XP 32-bit machine and nmake (Visual Studio 2010). Regards, Krishna.
