    Net::POP3->new() fails in PerlApp compiled script


    This may be a question for ActiveState support, but just in case anyone out
    there knows what the problem is...

    My call to Net::POP3->new() works fine when run through the perl
    interpreter, but fails when I compile the script with PerlApp and run it. My
    system is Windows 2000, ActiveState Perl 5.8.0 build 806, PerlApp 5.2.0
    build 520.

    Here is the script:

    ############### ############### ############### ############### ##
    #!perl -w

    use strict;

    use Net::POP3;

    my $p = Net::POP3->new('mail.mydo main.com', Debug=>99)
    or die('Server connection error');
    ############### ############### ############### ############### ##

    The command'perl pop3.pl' yields this (successful) output:

    Net::POP3: Net::POP3(2.23)
    Net::POP3: Net::Cmd(2.21)
    Net::POP3: Exporter(5.566)
    Net::POP3: IO::Socket::INE T(1.26)
    Net::POP3: IO::Socket(1.27 )
    Net::POP3: IO::Handle(1.21 )

    Net::POP3=GLOB( 0x1d524ac)<<< +OK X1 NT-POP3 Server mail013.readyho sting.com
    (IMa
    il 7.10 2193398-16)
    Net::POP3=GLOB( 0x1d524ac)>>> RSET
    Net::POP3=GLOB( 0x1d524ac)<<< +OK
    Net::POP3=GLOB( 0x1d524ac)>>> QUIT
    Net::POP3=GLOB( 0x1d524ac)<<< +OK POP3 Server saying Good-Bye


    However, when I compile it with PerlApp ('perlapp pop3.pl') and run the
    resulting pop3.exe, it dies:

    Server connection error at pop3.pl line 7.


    Any ideas?

    Thanks.
