using perlcc

ph0enix has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hi all,
I want to use perlcc to create standalone executable from my program but it allways fails with message like this

rv@barnards:~/projects&gt; perlcc -o test-prd test-prd.pl
/usr/bin/perlcc: test-prd.pl did not compile, which can't happen:
Starting compile
 Walking tree
 Prescan
 Saving methods

Is anyone here who was successful to compile with perlcc program which use Parse::RecDescent module? Any hints?

The shortest code producing error message above is

#!/usr/bin/perl -w

use strict;
use Parse::RecDescent;

exit 0;

If I remove strict or swap use lines message about locating method... disapears

`perlcc` is experimental. It says so right on the label. Given the amount of dynamic code generation that Parse::RecDescent does it's not surprising it's causing problems. See also `perldoc -q compile` and the recent discussion in perlcc?.	[reply] [d/l] [select]
