Problem with PAR/PP

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

I wanted to compile my .pl files and i have installed the PAR module "PAR-0.942" and everything went well. So I wanted to test/compile one of my perl script. So i compiled it using "pp example.pl" and it compiled without any error and ofcourse generated the "a.out" executable. When i run this ./a.out i am getting the error message


"./a.out
./a.out: creation of /tmp/par-genesis/cache-4822ebb2cf0b313e81b9c59f69
+d8622d9b724429/libperl.so failed - aborting with 2."

Do you have any issues creating files in /tmp? Permissions? Disk space? If you do have a problem with /tmp, try setting $ENV{PAR_GLOBAL_TEMP} to a valid path. -- Oh Lord, won’t you burn me a Knoppix CD ? My friends all rate Windows, I must disagree.

I checked /tmp and there was no permision issue. I could create folders in /tmp. However your comments made me to think again, i deleted the folder 'par_xxx' under /tmp folder and compiled it again. IT WORKED ! thanks for your tip	[reply]
