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.
