Hi list,
given Johannes' recent problems, I tried to track down the issue with
freezing programs that "use PAR 'foo.par';" on win32.
After a lengthy debugging session, I'm still not much wiser. I'll
explain what I found out. Perhaps somebody else will find the reason:
All seems to work well until in POSIX.pm, there is
XSLoader::load 'POSIX', $VERSION;
Then, in XSLoader::load, we have: (with $module eq 'POSIX'!)
my $b = "$module\::bootstrap";
goto &$b if defined &$b;
And that goto never returns.
Since Johannes wanted to use is .par in an environment that has a
POSIX.pm installed anyway, it should not hurt to just delete
blib/lib/POSIX.pm and blib/lib/auto/POSIX from the .par. I tried that
and Wow! The application works!
Any ideas why this is happening?
Steffen
