Re^2: Problem with Image::ExifTool and pp

Hey, thanks, yeah pp works fine with a basic app.

I ran some tests with a less complex version of my full script. The full script uses Tk to implement a GUI--when I got rid of the GUI and ran pp on it with the -x option (where it runs the program to check for extra dependencies), the resulting exe worked fine. However, when I added the GUI back in and tried to run it with -x, pp launched the app with the full GUI, but once I had finished running the app and quit out of it, pp just hung at the command line and never created an exe.

Maybe there's a way to get it to run with -x on the GUI version?

I should also point out that this is not unique to pp--I'm getting the same error when I use perl2exe.

Tom

I don't think you want to specify an absolute path for the included modules. Also, I would use -M. So here is an @-file that should work, assuming the exiftool modules are in a directory called 'lib' when you run pp: -o myscript.exe -I lib -M Image::ExifTool::AFCP -M Image::ExifTool::AIFF -M Image::ExifTool::APE -M Image::ExifTool::APP12 -M Image::ExifTool::ASF -M Image::ExifTool::BMP -M Image::ExifTool::BZZ -M Image::ExifTool::BigTIFF -M Image::ExifTool::BuildTagLookup -M Image::ExifTool::Canon -M Image::ExifTool::CanonCustom -M Image::ExifTool::CanonRaw -M Image::ExifTool::CanonVRD -M Image::ExifTool::Casio -M Image::ExifTool::DICOM -M Image::ExifTool::DNG -M Image::ExifTool::DjVu -M Image::ExifTool::EXE -M Image::ExifTool::Exif -M Image::ExifTool::Fixup -M Image::ExifTool::FLAC -M Image::ExifTool::Flash -M Image::ExifTool::FlashPix -M Image::ExifTool::FotoStation -M Image::ExifTool::FujiFilm -M Image::ExifTool::GeoTiff -M Image::ExifTool::GIF -M Image::ExifTool::GPS -M Image::ExifTool::HP -M Image::ExifTool::HTML -M Image::ExifTool::HtmlDump -M Image::ExifTool::ICC_Profile -M Image::ExifTool::ID3 -M Image::ExifTool::IPTC -M Image::ExifTool::ITC -M Image::ExifTool::JPEG -M Image::ExifTool::Jpeg2000 -M Image::ExifTool::JVC -M Image::ExifTool::Kodak -M Image::ExifTool::KyoceraRaw -M Image::ExifTool::Lang::ch_s -M Image::ExifTool::Lang::cz -M Image::ExifTool::Lang::de -M Image::ExifTool::Lang::en_ca -M Image::ExifTool::Lang::en_gb -M Image::ExifTool::Lang::es -M Image::ExifTool::Lang::fr -M Image::ExifTool::Lang::it -M Image::ExifTool::Lang::jp -M Image::ExifTool::Lang::nl -M Image::ExifTool::Lang::pl -M Image::ExifTool::Leaf -M Image::ExifTool::MakerNotes -M Image::ExifTool::MIE -M Image::ExifTool::MIFF -M Image::ExifTool::Minolta -M Image::ExifTool::MinoltaRaw -M Image::ExifTool::MNG -M Image::ExifTool::MPC -M Image::ExifTool::MPEG -M Image::ExifTool::Nikon -M Image::ExifTool::NikonCapture -M Image::ExifTool::Olympus -M Image::ExifTool::Panasonic -M Image::ExifTool::PDF -M Image::ExifTool::Pentax -M Image::ExifTool::PhotoMechanic -M Image::ExifTool::Photoshop -M Image::ExifTool::PICT -M Image::ExifTool::PNG -M Image::ExifTool::PostScript -M Image::ExifTool::PPM -M Image::ExifTool::PrintIM -M Image::ExifTool::QuickTime -M Image::ExifTool::Rawzor -M Image::ExifTool::Real -M Image::ExifTool::Ricoh -M Image::ExifTool::RIFF -M Image::ExifTool::Sanyo -M Image::ExifTool::Shortcuts -M Image::ExifTool::Sigma -M Image::ExifTool::SigmaRaw -M Image::ExifTool::Sony -M Image::ExifTool::TagInfoXML -M Image::ExifTool::TagLookup -M Image::ExifTool::Unknown -M Image::ExifTool::Vorbis -M Image::ExifTool::XMP -M Image::ExifTool::XMP2 -M Image::ExifTool::ZIP -M Image::File::RandomAccess -M Image/ExifTool/Shift.pl -M Image/ExifTool/WriteCanonRaw.pl -M Image/ExifTool/WriteExif.pl -M Image/ExifTool/WriteIPTC.pl -M Image/ExifTool/WritePDF.pl -M Image/ExifTool/WritePhotoshop.pl -M Image/ExifTool/WritePNG.pl -M Image/ExifTool/WritePostScript.pl -M Image/ExifTool/Writer.pl -M Image/ExifTool/WriteXMP.pl myscript	[reply]
