in reply to Problem with Par::Packer and the pp comand

I've got stucked in the same issue, but it was related to create a PPM package by hand. Looks like Active Perl is not smart enough (don't know why) to look at the default PPM repository in the machine for default modules that comes with the Active Perl distribuition. At the time, my problem lied with the Hash::Util module.

While is a ugly solution, you can just remove this from the options to pp and it should work (but I would document as necessary). The real bad side, if you're creating PPM packages, is that you won't be able to check module version either. Hope someday they'll fix that...

      I didn't test it, but you may want to try to use the option --exclude-module=MODULE from the pp to not include the Win32:: modules.

      Check the pp documentation that comes with the ActivePerl that, for some strange reason, is on the Pragma section (on my ActivePerl 5.8.8 rev 820, at least).
