Has anyone successfully used PAR to load XS modules on Win32 with Perl 5.8? I've tried it with several modules (Tk, Socket, and some more) and I consistently get "invalid DLL" message boxes from the ActiveState interpreter. The messages contain the path to the unzipped DLL.
I made the packages simply by copying the module and auto files into the PAR. Thus: - Module.par -- Module.pm -- auto --- Module.dll --- Module.bs --- Module.exp --- Module.lib I then used the modules with 'use PAR 'Module.par; use Module;" Why doesn't this work? Or does it? Any help would be appreciated. -- Bill Atkins If you're a circus clown, and you have a dog that you use in your act, I don't think it's a good idea to also dress the dog up like a clown, because people see that and they think, "Forgive me, but that's just too much." - Jack Handey
