Hi,
want to install the PAR module on W2k and would like to use the pp.exe to
create windows executables from perl scripts. Have downloaded the
PAR-0.85_01.tar.gz, unziped and "perl Makefile.PL". The script was running
up to here with warnings:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

After that i changed to the .cspan\build directory and did a
perl Makefile.PL
nmake
nmake test
nmake install
for all modules in the subdirectories. Except for the Compress-Zlib-1.33 it
did something after the "nmake install". The "query *" in the ppm returns
this:
