Hi,
the recently (27 Nov 2003) released Archive::Zip 1.09 doesn't get
quite get along with PAR 0.76.
On WindowsXP, Perl 5.8.1, I get:
C:\temp\cpan\build\PAR-0.76>pp -o hello.exe -e "print q[hello]"
C:\temp\cpan\build\PAR-0.76>hello.exe
format error: bad signature: 0x00905a4d at offset 0 in file
IO::File=GLOB(0xd9b02c) at -e line 660
format error: bad signature: 0x6e757220 at offset 100 in file
IO::File=GLOB(0xd9b02c) at -e line 159
format error: bad signature: 0x00000000 at offset 37 in file
IO::File=GLOB(0xd9b02c) at ../blib/lib/PAR.pm line 211
hello
Same thing on Solaris 8, Perl 5.6.1:
:; pp -o hello -e 'print "hello\n"'
:; ./hello
format error: bad signature: 0x00000000 at offset 64 in file
IO::File=GLOB(0x3cc078) at -e line 159
format error: bad signature: 0x464c457f at offset 0 in file
IO::File=GLOB(0x3cc078) at -e line 159
hello
However, the Zip archive in the executable looks OK:
:; unzip -tv hello
Archive: hello
warning [hello]: 1893478 extra bytes at beginning or within zipfile
(attempting to process anyway)
testing: script/ppat8pX.pl OK
testing: script/main.pl OK
testing: MANIFEST OK
testing: META.yml OK
No errors detected in compressed data of hello
Also, the error only shows when packing to an executable, a PAR archive
seems to be unaffected:
:; pp -p -o hello.par -e 'print "hello\n"'
:; perl -MPAR hello.par
hello
Cheers, Roderich
