My program requires utf8_heavy.pl and unicore, which are in
C:\Strawberry\perl\lib.

The Win32 exe produced with pp cannot locate these in the cache, where
they are expected in .../cache.../inc/lib

The error message produced is:
Can't locate utf8_heavy.pl in @INC (@INC contains:
C:\Users\dieter\AppData\Local\Temp\par-646965746572\cache-4d767343882c5f20e3adcfbd6a84888f2e1680be\inc\lib

CODE(0x24b02d4) CODE(0x24b04cc)) at C:/Strawberry/perl/lib/utf8.pm line 16.

This used to work with pp run in perl 5.20; it does not work with pp run
in perl 5.24. Don´t know about perl 5.22.

OS: Windows7 32bit / Windows10 64bit
perl 5.24
Module::ScanDeps 1.23
PAR::Packer 1.036

Have you tried packing with "pp -u ..."?

My program requires utf8_heavy.pl and unicore, which are in
C:\Strawberry\perl\lib.

I guess that "requires" here is meant colloquially ("makes use of") and that
your program does *not* literally "require 'utf8_heavy.pl'".

Cheers, Roderich
