v1.049 does not include PAR/StrippedPARL/Static.pm. Do you have multiple versions of perl on the machine? Try reinstalling PAR and pp, Error "Can't locate PAR/StrippedPARL/Static.pm in @INC" while trying to use pp.

G'day Bloehdian,

The PAR::StrippedPARL::Static (and PAR::StrippedPARL::Dynamic) modules were last distributed with 1.010; they were absent from 1.011.

In the Changes file, under '1.037  2017-05-28', you'll see:

"Fail early when packing with a version of Perl that's different frome the one PAR::Packer was built with. Scenario: User has built and installed PAR::Packer ... then installs a newer version of Perl ..."

As pp is now a module as well as a script, you can get version and location information about both of those, and equivalent information about perl, with these commands:

$ perl -E 'use pp; say $INC{"pp.pm"}; say $pp::VERSION;'
$ which pp
$ pp -V
$ which perl
$ perl -v
[download]

I'd also check the shebang line in program.pl.

I concur with the advice^[1,2] from both ++choroba¹ and ++marto². Your problem could be either; or a combination of both. If digging deeper (using the suggestions above) doesn't resolve your issue, post your results and we can look at it further.

Hello again,

o.k., first with regard to the version stuff:

[user@server bin]$ perl -E 'use pp; say $INC{"pp.pm"}; say $pp::VERSIO
+N;'
/usr/local/share/perl5/pp.pm
1.050
[user@server bin]$ which pp
/usr/local/bin/pp
[user@server bin]$ pp -V

So far I have no indication that different Perl versions are mixed up on this box.

BUT:

I found something very interesting (and weird at the same time):

program.pl is intended to run on windows and linux boxes as well. We use a Win 2012 server with Strawberry Perl 5.28.2 installed, and, guess, I find Static.pm installed in the directory C:\Strawberry\perl\site\lib\PAR\StrippedPARL, although PAR:Packer on this machine is of version 1.049. And

pp -B -o program.exe program.pl

works flawlessly on Windows 2012.

It seems that the Strawberry guys bundled the "old" modules Static.pm (and Dynamic.pm) into this quite recent Perl (PAR::Packer) distribution. Really embarrassing!

Any ideas how to proceed? (o.k., I will, just to experiment, copy over Static.pm and Dynamic.pm (from cpan) into the appropriate directory on the Linux machine, but I think this is not only quick (provided it works), but very very DIRTY :->)

Totally different question:

When I post my questions here I use an "ordinary" text editor to prepare the text, insert the <p>, </p>, etc. by hand (!) and copy it over to the text box on this site. Inserting the tags is time consuming. I guess that there is a much easier way. How do You do this?

"It seems that the Strawberry guys bundled the "old" modules Static.pm (and Dynamic.pm) into this quite recent Perl (PAR::Packer) distribution. Really embarrassing!"

For Strawberry Perl 5.28.2 from the msi:

marto@Marto-Desktop:~/Downloads/msi/Strawberry$ find . -name "Static.p
+m"
./perl/vendor/lib/Mojolicious/Static.pm
marto@Marto-Desktop:~/Downloads/msi/Strawberry
[download]

From the 'portable':

marto@Marto-Desktop:~/portable$ find . -name "Static.pm"
./perl/vendor/lib/Mojolicious/Static.pm
marto@Marto-Desktop:~/portable$
[download]

From the 'zip' distro:

marto@Marto-Desktop:~/zip$ find . -name "Static.pm"
./perl/vendor/lib/Mojolicious/Static.pm
marto@Marto-Desktop:~/zip$
[download]

I can't see anything to back up this claim.

Inserting the tags is time consuming. I guess that there is a much easier way. How do You do this?

I use a node template. You can set one up in your Signature Settings. Or you could configure your editor to use a template. Or you could use an HTML-aware editor. Or you could use a post-processor (in Perl, of course) to wrap every paragraph outside code blocks in p tags. Or ... so many alternatives!
