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

Hi,

I'm experiencing some issues while I'm trying to use pp :

[XXXXXXXX@XXXXXXXXXXX]# pp -o toto toto.pl
Can't locate PAR/StrippedPARL/Static.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /usr/l
+ib64/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8/x86_64-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/s

+ti /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.8 .) at /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8/PAR/Pack
+er.pm line 1223.

I did some research and found out than the module I'm supposely missing is an internal class of the module PAR::Packer that I can't simply download and add to the @INC... (http://search.cpan.org/~smueller/PAR-Packer-1.003/lib/PAR/StrippedPARL/Static.pm)

I tried to do a make clean of this module, but it failed :

cpan[2]> clean PAR::Packer

Running clean for module 'PAR::Packer'

Distribution seems to have never been unzipped/untarred, nothing done

CPAN said that the module was never unzipped, even though it was installed ...

cpan[3]> install PAR::Packer

PAR::Packer is up to date (1.013).

I thought that maybe if I went step by step it would work so I tried a make, then make test and I didn't see any errors, but it's still printing me the same bug every time I try to use it... (here is the log for the make and the test)

*** You have extra Perl library paths set in your environment.
    Please note that these paths (set with PERL5LIB or PERLLIB)
    are not honored by perl when running under taint mode, which
    may lead to problems. This is a limitation (by design) of
    Perl, not of PAR::Packer; but some of the problems may
    manifest here during installation.

So I don't know if somebody is already passed by this error, but I'm not very good with CPAN so maybe there is an option I missed or simply something I didn't saw, please I'm asking for some help on this one...

Re: Error "Can't locate PAR/StrippedPARL/Static.pm in @INC" while trying to use pp
by marto (Cardinal) on Sep 28, 2012 at 10:28 UTC

    You do a make PAR::Packer, test PAR::Packer, but don't actually (re)install it. You can do this via:

    cpan>force install PAR::Packer

    [download]

    Or from the command line cpan -f PAR::Packer. Use one of the methods I suggest to reinstall PAR::Packer, then try to recreate the problem and let us know what's happening.

      Thank you for your answer

      I tried to do an install PAR::Packer, but CPAN used to tell me that the module was already installed, which led me to try the make clean and everything else...

      But I just tried your cpan>force install PAR::Packer and it worked, I managed to create a runnable bin out of a perl script, and even managed to create a binary file including perl, two other modules and another script, it works just fine :)

      THANKS A LOT !
