Whoa.  Most impressive.  You have completed in one day what I have
delayed for one year.  :-)

Mattia, can you look at App::Packer::Temp and see if it can be merged
back to the main App::Packer?  I'm most willing to move the "pp" script
into part of App::Packer, and make App::Packer a prerequisite of PAR, so
that they can be separatedly maintained and updated.

That's a good idea.

Hmm, I thought -M already handles that.  So you want to make -M deal
with modules only?  I can see the point.  Okay then. :)

As of -A... It's sad that the Windows shell does not have backticks, so
we have to devote an extra option to it.  Sigh.

Why do we not make this yet another option to pp (i.e.
App::Packer::Backend::PAR)?

That's what PerlTidy is for; don't worry about it. :-)
