PAR Question

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

I'm using PAR, I'm trying to compile two module into one file but how to do that;-

pp -o out.exe -M PSP::Httpd PSP::Docs

the result would be "Can't find PSP::Docs", if I write PSP::Httpd first thatn it can't find PSP::Httpd.

Another Question, How do I pack script from different folder. Like this?

pp -o out.exe perl.pl pdp/perl.cgi pdp/perl2.cgi ??

Thanks....

Try `pp -o out.exe -M PSP::Httpd -M PSP::Docs` (another -M)	[reply] [d/l]

Yes, I also had similar problems when attempting to do such a thing. For additional modules do: `pp -M this::module -M that::module -o out.exe foo.pl` ... and I believe in reference to your last question you must include two things: - a similar folder name of the my_script.pm (module or script) you want to import as it appears in your @INC using -I - and also add the script using a full path name using -M. `pp -I \another\folder -M some::module -M c:\full\path\my_script.pm -o out.exe foo.pl` Note: I'm never done this way of -I although I believe its the solution and will be attempting on the next PAR I do Also, I'm not sure if in writing the command in any particular order is important but I'd suggest doing -I before -M just in case. Additionally, if you don't create the additional folder in the archive using -I it will drop your own my_script.pm that you imported using -M into the root of the PAR archive. Although this isn't probably the cleanest way to pack the archive, I found for my programs (EXE's) it still finds the my_script.pm because it must search this root folder of the archive for included modules/scripts. Also, the PAR archive is really a zipped archive which can be viewed in Winzip. If you create the PAR file without using the -o flag like this: `pp -I \another\folder -M some::module -M c:\full\path\my_script.pm foo.pl` ... and then open the resulting PAR file in winzip you'll get an idea of the structure and setup of the PAR archive.
