Re^3: Problem Creating and Running Perl exe

In addition to PAR::Dist (which is now at version '0.31' by the way), which version of PAR are you running? pp is now part of PAR::Packer. You may want to try

ppm install http://theoryx5.uwinnipeg.ca/ppms/PAR-588.ppd
and
ppm install http://theoryx5.uwinnipeg.ca/ppms/PAR-Packer-588.ppd
[download]

Then try to recreate your executable.

Hope this helps

Update: I do not have access to a windows machine (I am not at work right now) so I can't test this, so let us know how you get on.

hi ralife, Glad to hear that worked for you, it is often a good idea to check http://search.cpan.org for updates to modules, their change logs (a file called ChangeLog in the module distribution) gives you an idea of what has been fixed. That said it sounds like your PAR version was pretty old, looking at the ppd for PAR, the abstract shows: 'version 0.90 for Perl Archive Tookit (perl-5.8.7)'. Upgrading to the version 0.92 'Perl Archive Tookit for perl-5.8.8' (from the ppd) matches the perl build you are using. Perhaps this is what resolved the issue for you. Martin	[reply]
