Hello Monks,

I need your help again.

I have several questions on pp.

1. Since par files are essentially zipped archives, they should be cross platform. However, I read in the documentation that the Binary file (I am assuming it meant the par file) created by pp should be used on the same o/s where it was created. If par file is cross platform then it should not matter which platform it was generated, right?

2. I tried pp the following two ways, however both methods give me out of memory error.

2a. 

pp --multiarch --output=t1.par script\main.pl<br>
par t1.par

[download]

2b. 

pp -P -o t1.pl script\main.pl<br>
perl t1.pl

[download]

My script, main.pl is not complicated. It is barely 200 lines long. What may be happening here?

3. I have a set of scripts which get called from main.pl. Should I include the called scripts in just one par file?

As addtional information, I should mention that my scripts are coded in a very simple way. The were not created as module. I hope that should not matter. I am currently using Strawberry Perl 5.10 on Win XP.

Thanks so much.

Ash
