Pelr packer pp with -C fails else ok

dkhosla1 has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hi,

Background: The issue is happening on only 1 system which is very strange. Other systems with the exact same OS (RedHat 7.2) and same binary don't see this issue.

By default, I am using '-C' (--clean) 'pp' option to build the packaged binary.

On this system, when running it, it got the "Can't locate File/Temp.pm in @INC .." type error. See below. Since other systems were not having this issue, the package must be there. But just to make double-sure, I compiled with "-M File::Temp". It did not fix the issue.

So then to see if it really was missing, I compiled without the '-C', and it worked! No issues.

Any ideas?

Here is the full output - none of the output is from mytest itself

$ ./mytest -v
Invalid argument at -e line 119.

Additional: Just noticed that the @INC contains path for where the package was built not the 'par-xxx' temp directory. Is that correct behavior? (Not sure if relevant as it does not explain why the '-C' switch causes this failure but wanted to highlight it..)	[reply]

I think the absence of the par-xxx path(s) in @INC is a key symptom. Does your code modify @INC in any way? What happens if you build an executable that only prints @INC? Like this (adjusting quote chars as needed for linux): `pp -C -e "print join q{ }, @INC"` [download] If I run it on my windows machine using PAR::Packer 1.047, I get the result below. Note the absence of any of the lib dirs from the perl it was built with. `a.exe C:\Users\user\AppData\Local\Temp\par-736861776e\temp-21884\inc\lib C:\ +Users\user\AppData\Local\Temp\par-736861776e\temp-21884\inc CODE(0x38 +59d88) CODE(0x385a310)` [download]	[reply] [d/l] [select]

The first line of the error also raises questions. `Invalid argument at -e line 119.` [download] Can you provide the full text of the pp command you are calling? And, a bit more speculatively, does your code call `system perl` anywhere?	[reply] [d/l] [select]

No, I don't modify @INC anywhere. I will try build a binary to just print @INC and report early next week.	[reply]

-c is not -C ive yet to see someone smart enough to use big C	[reply]

Hi See Re: pp --clean does not seem to work (it does) and try that way of debugging Also add in `set PAR_GLOBAL_DEBUG=1`	[reply] [d/l]
