[wxperl-users] how to compile wxPerl script to an .exe with PerlApp?

[David K. <da...@po...>]

Has anyone successfully converted a simple "hello world" wxPerl script
into an .exe using the Activestate PDK's PerlApp utility?

i've been trying all day with no joy.  the .exe failed silently until i
tried compiling it without the -gui option.  after droppping the -gui, i
see this error on stderr (at run time, not compile time):

Can't load 'auto/Wx/Wx.dll' for module Wx: load_file:One of the library
files ne
eded to run this application cannot be found at /PerlApp/DynaLoader.pm
line 212.

but the "verbose" perlapp output (below) clearly shows that perlapp
found and included the Wx.dll:
