PAR Packer

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

Hello, I am trying to make an exe file from a perl script file. I am using ActiveState Perl 5.8.6 (Build 811) on Windows. This is the lcommand that i am running and the error msg:

pp -o sp.exe spdisplaye.pl

Perl lib version (v5.8.6) doesn't match executable version (v5.8.8) at C:/Perl/lib/Config.pm line 32. Oooow ... that looks nasty. In a nutshell, whenever Config.pm gets loaded, you should get that error. (It's probably worth verifying that. Do you get the same error when you run `perl -V:cc` ? If not, then what follows may not be accurate.) This looks like a case of a botched ActivePerl upgrade - you have a Config.pm from perl-5.8.6, but your perl executable is version 5.8.8, and the only way I can think that might have happened is if, at some stage, you've tried to upgrade from 5.8.6 to 5.8.8 (but only half succeeded). If removing ActivePerl completely and then doing a fresh install is an option for you - then that's undoubtedly the best option. Cheers, Rob	[reply] [d/l]

Looks like PARL, the PAR Packer packed perl is the wrong version, very easy since perl-5.8.8 isn't binary compatible with earlier 5.8 builds	[reply]

Hi, When i run perl -V:cc i get "cc='cl'; I uninstalled my perl and reinstalled it and still i get the same error msg. also in my bin dir there is 5.8.6 perl exe file.. Thanks,	[reply]

Is installation of Strawberry Perl (both 5.10.0.1 & 5.8.0.1 available at the time of writing) not feasible? At last, a user level that overstates my experience :-))	[reply]

Hi Roi, You might try copying and pasting the error(s) into <CODE> tags to render the output readable ... At last, a user level that overstates my experience :-))	[reply]
