sorry for bothering you with such a trivial error, which I should have
spotted myself most easily. You were of course right.

You're welcome. Closing this ticket.

Cheers, Roderich

I agree that this is more a problem of my combination of Cygwin and
Strawberry Perl , rather than a pp problem.
Nevertheless I would appreciate any help - maybe someone else saw this
strange [ODEBUG] output (which stems from stderr as I found out) in
both the pp build and the ".exe" files generated from pp and you have
an idea.

The ODEBUG stuff has nothing to do with PAR::Packer. It's probably something on your machine.
pp a "hello world" script and run the resulting exe on another machine. If this doesn't
show ODEBUG, then it's definitely something in your environment.

Cheers, Roderich
