Hallo Manfred,

Sorry, I'm running on the same Problem than Andreas Marienborg on a
Windows (ActivePerl) machine, too.

I  didn't build the Imager Library myself but installed it over ppm. So
I don't know how to get on with this prob...

Do you have any hints for me?

first, install the latest PAR. If that's not available as ppm from AS, try installing it from CPAN (even without a gcc). Then, try the bribes repository. (See par.perl.org and look for a "compatiblity list".)
Make sure your build of PAR is compatible with your Perl.

"The same problem", is certainly a bad problem describtion. Back then, Andreas showed us no code of his. Just an error message from an in-house module. I couldn't reproduce the problem with simple scripts on either Windows or Linux. Andreas did *not* respond to clear up the issue. Would you *please* provide a minimal example script which demonstrates the problem? That would go a long way towards helping us help you.

I say "us" because I'm CCing the PAR mailing list which is where this belongs.

Try the following:
- Write a small script that uses Imager.
- Include the line "use Data::Dumper; print Dumper \%Imager::formats;"
- This prints out the supported formats.
- Run it. Note output.
- Package it with a simple pp -o t.bin t.pl
- Run that. Note output. Difference?
- Package it with something more complex: pp -o t.bin t.pl -ljpeg (or whatever your jpeg lib is called)
- Retry.

Then, post the output and success rate and source code in an answer to this.

I'm sorry if this comes across as rude. I hope not, but I'm in a cranky mood this morning ;)

Steffen
