Hi, I currently have the following problem: I build an excutable that runs fine on the machine where I built it. But if run on another machine that doesn't have Perl installed (or after renaming my Perl installation) I get the following error
Can't locate loadable object for module IO in @INC (@INC contains: CODE(0x87c98c) .) at ../blib/lib/PAR/Heavy.pm at line 101 The reason is that IO.dll isn't included in the second stage bootstrap stuff (the one that gets extract from the packed excutable by pure perl methods). I scanned the executable file for the "FILE checksum/name" markers and IO.dll (and some others like Cwd.dll) aren't there. I chased this down to the section "Write bundled methods" in par.pl. There files gleaned from %INC are matched against dirs in @inc. Now the original @INC (which is a subset of @inc) contains Perl's module paths in long-name form. But for some strange reason, the file names in "values %INC" have the short (8.3) form, hence the match fails and the file doesn't get written. Versions used: OS: WinXP Professional 2002 SP1 Perl: ActiveState 5.8.0 PAR: 0.76 Cheers, Roderich
