Using Perl-Archive_Toolkit (PAR) with Win32::OLE to make standalone exe



Hi,
I'm sure this question has been answered somewhere but I cant find it
so apologies before I start.

I'm trying to make a standalone Windows XP exe using Activestate Perl,
PAR (pp actually) and Win32::OLE. The script goes thru 'pp' ok but
errors with a windows dialogue box entitled 'Entry Point Not Found' and
the text 'The procedure entry point Perl_Gsv_placeholder_ptr could not
be located in the dynamic link library perl58.dll'.
The following script exhibits the same issue:
#\bin\perl -w

use strict;
use Win32::OLE;

print "hello world!\n\n"

If I comment out the Win32 line the script runs fine as an exe.

There is a reference to exactly this error in perl.par dated around
2004 but it never got answered so I assume that whoever posted it
figured out the answer.

Any thoughts?

BTW OS = XP SP2

TIA

.
