Hello,

thank you for pp and platypus.

(http://par.perl.org/wiki/Main_Page)
(http://www.sveinbjorn.org/platypus)

I am trying to use them together, so that pp generates
the shell/terminal executable (either stand-alone via 
"./main.exe" or via "perl -MPAR main.par"), and then
platypus generates the apple bundle around it.

I note that on WIN32 the pp option --gui generates an
executable bundle, while on Apple the option is not
supported. The command line tool "platypus", on the
other hand, generates the Apple bundle, but seems to
require special care when used with pp. Could you
please enhance pp/platypus so that they are compatible
with each other, and pp can generate the apple bundle
via platypus and the --gui flag?

Note. There are two approaches with pp; one is to
generate a .par, to be used with "perl -MCPAN", the
other is to generate a self executable. In the first
case, "platypus -t perl" chokes, because it only
allows to specify "perl" as interpreter with no
options. In the second case, platypus "-t shell"
chokes again, saying that it cannot execute the file.
In summary, I think it is platypus that needs a small
adjustment.

Thank you
Bob
