Perl pp utility locale problems

i am trying to use pp utility from PAR package to create an exe file of my Perl program on windows eg 

pp -o script.exe script.pl

The command runs ok, but when i try to run the exe, it gives me

The locale codeset (cp1252) isn't one that perl can decode, stopped at Encode/Locale.pm  line 94. Compilation failed in require at LWP/UserAgent.pm line 1000.

What could be the problem? I have a list of modules being used in the script, these include, Cwd, LWP::Simple, LWP::Useragent , Win32::OLE.

enviroment:

1) windows vista
2) Activestate Perl 5.16
3) did not manage to install PAR::Packager successfully, unless i use "force" install, which manage to install.

thanks

Encode::Locale finds the modules it needs to decode various encodings in a way that pp can't discover automatically. You'll need to tell pp which additional modules are required.

This should do the trick:

pp -m Encode::Byte -o script.exe script.pl
