Dear monks,

I am trying to package a script (that runs fine on its own) using pp, the packaging utility of PAR. I use the following arguments: 
/opt/local/bin/pp -c -B -M diagnostics -o mbwrap service.pl

[download]
but when I try to run it I get: 
$ ./mbwrap
No diagnostics? at diagnostics.pm line 429.
Compilation failed in require at script/service.pl line 5.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at script/service.pl line 5.

[download]
I am on Darwin 10.4.x, using the darwinports version of perl and pp (i.e. in /opt/local/bin). I'm at a loss where to go from here, the 'No diagnostics?' die is not very well documented. What is it complaining about?

Thanks!
