in reply to Problem with getSaveFile in 'pp'-mode

Like your previous post, you're going to have to tell us what doesn't work. How do I post a question effectively?.

update: ignore.the above. Can you show.how you used pp to build this? Did you use the -x flag?

    I tried to describe the problem in 4 steps:
    1. line 3-33 is the script. When executing as 'perl sample_getSaveFile.pm' it works fine.
    2. line 37: using PAR::Packer to package the very same script (from step 1) into a binary executable.
    3. line 41-42: Executing the generated binary executable from step 2 show error messages
    4. line 46-55: after including 'use Tk::Bitmap' into the script (line 3-33) and running the PAR::Packer again (step 2) the executable shows different error messages.

    My question: "what am I doing wrong or what modules have to be included to satisfy PAR::Packer?"

      Sorry, not my day. You want to call pp with -x. See the pp documentation. Note that this is lowercase rather than uppercase x. Go ahead and add -x to your pp arguments and test the resulting executable

        Tried it with the lowercase-x-option. This is the result:
        XS_Tk__Callback_Call error:must specify one of -data, -file, -array or
+ -id at Tk/Image.pm line 21.

Tk::Error: must specify one of -data, -file, -array or -id at Tk/Image
+.pm line 21.
 Tk callback for image
 Tk::Image::new at Tk/Image.pm line 21
 Tk::Image::__ANON__ at Tk/Image.pm line 63

        I ran it with the lowercase-x-option. That does not seem to cure it. However, running with the uppercase-C-option and lowercase-x-option - that combination finally worked.
        In my opinion, the uppercase-C-option cleans-up the temp-files at runtime once the application terminates. Shall this be reported as a 'bug' (in this case I would not know who to contact) or should it be silently accepted? What is your advise?

        Sorry, it should actually read: "uppercase-C-option OFF and lowercase-x-option ON".
