Hi Laurence,
I still can't reproduce the problem here, with the same commandline that you
are using,
the same version of PerlApp (8.0.1).
Here are a couple of ideas of varying levels of grasping at straws:
You seem to have a copy of the tkkit in your Perl tree at:
C:\Perl\lib\auto\Tcl\copy_of_tkkit.dll
that will needlessly get bundled into your application, blowing up the size.
Could you
remove that file (just move it out of the directory) and see if it makes a
difference
(I doubt it, as I created a copy in my tree as well, and it had no effect)?
But if
nothing else it will let you generate smaller executables.
I also notice that you run your executable from the Z: drive whereas your local
drive
seems to be C:. Could you copy the executable somewhere onto your local disk
and run
it from there? If it makes a difference, could you explain what kind of drive
Z: is?
Also, could you check if the directory
C:\DOCUME~1\Anthony\LOCALS~1\Temp\pdk-Anthony\auto\Tcl\
actually exist and what the content are? As I wrote before, PerlApp should not
be using
that directory to begin with, but I'm wondering if the permission problem
happens because
the directory already exist and isn't writeable, or if the directory doesn't
even get created.
Finally, would you mind doing a clean installation of the latest ActivePerl
5.10.1.1007
and PDK 8.2.1 to see if the problem is still reproducible? It doesn't really
make much
sense to spend too much time figuring out the issue if it is already fixed in
the later
releases (although I would really like to know how this can happen at all).
Cheers,
-Jan
