It could be related to the problem I am having. I'd like to try it, but I couldn't figure out how to install with the no test option.

Broken in: (no value) Severity: (no value) Owner: Nobody Requestors:[email protected] Status: new Ticket <URL:https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=99229 > Dear PAR::Packer Maintainers, I ran into an issue when trying to build an executable from a Perl script under Windows 7 (64 and 32 bits) using Strawberry Perl 5.20.1 (and 5.16 also) which seems to be caused by the use of an updated version of gcc in the MinGW package that is included in the distribution. When I wanted to run the par generated executable on a machine where strawberry perl was not installed it complained that libwinpthreads-1.dll was missing during the unpacking stage. After a bit of testing the source of the problem was that myldr was not including this library when building the executable. A change in the Makefile.PL file as shown below fixed the problem (not very elegantly). The missing dll breaks the portability of the executable and would ruin the purpose of building executable distributions. Thanks for the fantastic PAR mechanism! Regards, Sergio
PS: The PAR::Packer does not pass all tests either under Windows 7 so I had to install it using the notest option. I wonder if this is related this problem also.
