Is it really possible to be able to create a truly platform independent distribution when some of the Perl modules contain XS/C code or are wrappers around other C libraries? >From the PAR docs: Q: On what platforms can I run PAR? On what platforms will the resulting executable run? Win32 (with VC++ or MinGW), FreeBSD, NetBSD, Linux, MacOSX, Cygwin, AIX, Solaris, HP-UX, Tru64. The resulting executable will run on any platforms that supports the binary format of the generating platform. Does this mean par's generated on one architecture will not run on another? This is what I would expect. Can FreeBSD run Linux binaries? -- Michael Peters Developer Plus Three, LP --------------------------------------------------------------------- Web Archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=cgiapp&r=1&w=2 To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
