I have encountered an issue which appears to be a bug in the Solaris build of PAR::Packer and may previously have shown up under BSD as well but works fine under Linux

Solaris run

bash-2.05$ pp -o saxTest -e 'use XML::SAX; use Data::Dumper;print Dump
+er(XML::SAX->parsers());'
bash-2.05$ ./saxTest
could not find ParserDetails.ini in /var/tmp/par-Utilitarian/cache-975
+edb21ccbc1a6efd7787c240583cc1b105f6fb/SAX
$VAR1 = [];
bash-2.05$ unzip saxTest
....
bash-2.05$ find ./ -name ParserDetails.ini
./.cpan/build/XML-SAX-0.96-cpnLPo/blib/lib/XML/SAX/ParserDetails.ini
./lib/XML/SAX/ParserDetails.ini
[download]

---

./lib/XML/SAX/ParserDetails.ini above came directly from unziping the archive.

Linux run

linux6:~/$ pp -o saxTest -e 'use XML::SAX; use Data::Dumper;print Dump
+er(XML::SAX->parsers());'
linux6:~/$ ./saxTest
$VAR1 = [
          {
            'Features' => {
                            'http://xml.org/sax/features/namespaces' =
+> '1'
                          },
            'Name' => 'XML::SAX::PurePerl'
          }
        ];

Has anyone come across a similar issue and if so is there a solution available?

There appears to have been a bug raised for this previously, but as far as I can tell it was closed without resolution. However I'm not familiar with the CPAN bug tracking process so if someone can give me a digestible tutorial on tracking this issue I would be massively grateful.
