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?
