Hi,
As this is my first post to this list, let me start by thanking
Autrijus for PAR: what a fabulous pieces of hackery.
I'd like to report difficulty installing PAR 0.86 and 0.87 (and the
svn archive as of this moment) on an Ubuntu/Debian system. PAR 0.85
installs fine.
Here's the output of 'perl Makefile.PL' and of 'make'. Somehow,
something, somewhere decides that a small chunk of File::Path is
invalid:
----
[penguin: PAR-0.87]# perl Makefile.PL

Checking if your kit is complete...
Looks good

----
Here are the relevant lines (266-269) from File::Path:
----
my $oldpwd = getcwd or do {
carp "Can't fetch initial working directory";
return;
};
----
File::Path actually does work fine in other contexts. Please let me
know what I can do to help track this problem back to its root.
Again, thanks ...
