perl2exe Error

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

Dear Monks

I am using below modules for my XML comparison.

use XML::SemanticDiff;
use XML::SemanticCompare;
use XML::LibXML;
[download]

I installed those modules and could be able to finish my coding. It worked fine.

I started converting the script into exe using perl2exe. It was successful but when I try to run the exe, I am getting the belwo error message,

Could not find ParserDetails.ini in PERL2EXE_STORAGE/XML/SAX

Can't use string ("1") as a HASH ref while "strict refs" in use at PER
+L2EXE_STORAGE/XML/SemanticDiff.pm line 147, <ACOUT> line 69.
[download]

Also I did include the modules(Ex. #perl2exe_include "XML/SemanticDiff.pm";) inside my perl script but no success. could you please help how to fix this issue?

Your help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Chennaiite....

You need to add `#perl2exe_bundle "/some/path/ParserDetails.ini"` [download] to the name.pl file on which you are running perl2exe. Search your @INC directories for that .ini file, then use the full path in the perl2exe_bundle line. That directive tells perl2exe to include the file in the .exe being created so that it is available to the program when the .exe is executed.	[reply] [d/l]

Hi, I tried those steps, but No success. Is there any other way(any free software) to convert my perl script to exe? Thanks,	[reply]

Another standard is PAR::Packer. In the past I've found the author of perl2exe to be very helpful. Perl2Exe User Manual at "Contacting us for support" explains how to send in a problem report.	[reply]

Hello, Quick guess... since you mentioned ParserDetails.ini it seems to be an additional file which you need. This is not the same as including the module. Try looking at perl2exe_bundle filename from the Perl2Exe documentation. regexes	[reply]

Hello, I solved the issue. When perl2exe gives you an error like this where it can't find a file, it is actually listing the directory it expects to find it in. PERL2EXE_STORAGE/XML/SAX So from where ever the .exe file executes, it requires a sub-directory named "PERL2EXE_STORAGE". In that directory, add the next two sub directories, XML and SAX inside of XML. Then after you find the ParserDetails.ini file inside of the XML/SAX/ you move a copy to that new directory you created. - TRL	[reply]
