Re^6: PAR::Packer pp command including too many modules

Holy crappola, you're a genius! This worked, and produced a smallish exe with only 18 unnecessary modules:

pp -X Portable.pm -e "use strict; print 1..99" -o ttt.exe
[download]

But I guess I still disagree with the coders of PAR::Packer that Portable.pm should be included by default, for some definition of default. To include it because you merely "use strict;" just seems wrong to me.

Anyhow, thanks a lot for your work-around. It suits my purposes well. I had almost given up hope of getting a reasonable size exe.

But I guess I still disagree with the coders of PAR::Packer .... I have my perl configured to use Data::Dump by default , if I use pp to pack anything Data::Dump gets included unless I exclude it ... strawberryperlportable loads Portable by default for every perl program, unless you exclude it, par/pp will package it If you still feel its a mistake that loaded modules get packaged (which I don't), feel free to file a bug report :) I had almost given up hope of getting a reasonable size exe. everybody has got a funny definition of reasonable :)	[reply]

strawberryperlportable loads Portable by default for every perl program I have strawberry perl portable, yet there's no mention of Portable.pm in %INC: `C:\_32\pscrpt>type try.pl use strict; use warnings; print for keys %INC; C:\_32\pscrpt>perl -l try.pl warnings.pm strict.pm C:\_32\pscrpt>` [download] If Portable.pm has been loaded, then I would expect to find it in %INC. What gives ? (I have 5.18.2.1 - maybe this behaviour has now changed ?) Cheers, Rob	[reply] [d/l]

It gets loaded when you load Config or CPAN::Config or File::HomeDir module So bug in scandeps? maybe	[reply]
