All I can say is WOOHOO!! Finally it is working!! I going to have such a blast this week running all my scripts with pp instead of perlapp. No more license problems.... ahh what a relief!

For Perl 5.8.x, it turns out it's my fault -- Module::ScanDeps forgot to include unicore/To/* in its heuristics. 0.34 has been released to CPAN and here: http://aut.dyndns.org/dist/Module-ScanDeps-0.34.tar.gz Upgrading to 0.34 should fix the problem for 5.8.x users right away. For Perl 5.6.x, the bug is more elusive; it turns out line 30 of utf8_heavy.pl's SWASHNEW does not assign anything to $list: $list ||= eval { $caller->$type(); } || do "$file.pl" || do "$encoding/$file.pl" || do "$encoding/Is/${type}.pl" || croak("Can't find $encoding character property definition via $caller->$type or $file.pl"); Strangely, replacing the ||= operator with "unless" fixed this problem: $list = eval { $caller->$type(); } || do "$file.pl" || do "$encoding/$file.pl" || do "$encoding/Is/${type}.pl" || croak("Can't find $encoding character property definition via $caller->$type or $file.pl") unless $list; This workaround will be available in PAR 0.77; 5.6.x users with a C compiler are encouraged to try out the snapshot build (http://p4.elixus.org/snap/PAR.tar.gz) and see if it works for them. > What does 'pp' do - can the above be "expanded" into normal perl? "pp" turns Perl programs into ready-to-run executables. See http://par.perl.org/?Features for more information. :-) Thanks, /Autrijus/
