Re: Activestate perlapp creates exe that hangs

I don't have a Windows shell handy, so I can't help directly.  Maybe  
someone else can jump in, and we can fix it if it's a bug, or document  
it if it's a misunderstanding?

I don't see POE::Loop::TkActiveState or POE::Loop::TkCommon in your -- 
add directives.  Do you mean that perlapp recognizes them?
