Hi,
Tried the new version - no problems with the install!
1 questions and 2 comments/issues:
Q) Can someone please explain the difference between -f and -F?
1) Now to filtering (I am on Win2K with perl 5.6.1):
pp -o x.exe xbook.pl
works fine except the following:
This is a CGI called twice within the same html page. I think the
browser runs them in parallel in 2 separate threads. Most of the time
one of the links returns a error(Application misbehaved by not
returning a complete set of headers) while the other works fine. There
is no pattern to which link fails.
I wonder if this is a race or cleanup condition?
This did not happen with 0.76 (the last version I tested).
2) Tried using the Bleach filter - same results as some time ago:
- the -f version is smaller but does not run (no error on pp -o)
Carp/Heavy.pm did not return a true value at -e line 295. [I could not
repeat this error consistently though - strange]
- the -F version is 1/5 MB bigger and fails running (no error on
pp -o):
Can't locate object method "new" via package "CGI" (perhaps you forgot
to load "CGI"?) at script/xbook.pl line 789.
3) So I tried using the Obfuscate filter.
Again the -f does not work
------
F:\>pp -o x4.exe -f Obfuscate xbook.pl
Can't call method "PADLIST" on an undefined value at
M:/Perl/lib/B/Deparse.pm li

-----
This did produce an executable x4.exe - I tried it just to see what
happens - errors:
So tried -F

When I tried to run it:
F:\>x5 -v
Can't locate object method "binmode" via package "CGI" at
/loader/0x129f32c/CGI.
pm line 54.
Compilation failed in require at script/xbook.pl line 67.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at script/xbook.pl line 67.
(Line 67 in my code is: use CGI ':standard';)
Any suggestions?
