I just got in the nastiest flamwar with a perl/CPAN hater. He said all sorts of really stupid things... but made one valid point. A lot of people seem to have trouble with the CPAN shell (for some reason).
This makes distribution of perl apps, from source, difficult for many of your potential users. And so, when I found PAR I got really excited. I have an example program which includes a module that's particularly difficult to parse. I got my rot13 experiment to work great with only just $ pp rot13 However, my example.pl (curses) doesn't work at all... it simply reports: $ pp -r example.pl Error in tempfile() using /tmp/par_priv.9899.tmp/XXXXXXXXXX.so: Parent directory (/tmp/par_priv.9899.tmp/) is not a directory at ../blib/lib/PAR/Heavy.pm line 79 Compilation failed in require at script/example.pl line 4. BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at script/example.pl line 4. However, I was able to get it to work with: $ pp -B -p example.pl $ par.pl -B -Opacked.pl example.par $ perl ./packed.pl Any idea? Is it related to this? http://archive.develooper.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/msg88639.html (though I'm on 5.6.1) All sources and things: http://www.voltar-confed.org/tmp/experiment -- If riding in an airplane is flying, then riding in a boat is swimming. 38 jumps, 7.6 minutes of freefall, 15.1 ff vertical miles.
