A quick question.
Has anybody else successfully built PAR::Packer 0.973 against ActiveState build
820 on Win32?
My attempts fail when a pp packed exec is run ( and in all pp tests, of course
)
I can build against my own build of perl 5.8.8 just fine.
I haven't posted more detail as a quick yes from anyone who has had no problems
will do fine. I imagine it is something specific to me as I see no other
mention on the list - but confirmation would be helpful.

Whoa! Bug!
I was going to write in a "yes" but I only had 0.972. I installed the
0.973 PAR and also PAR::Packer that I had downloaded in the past and
they both passed all of their tests. However, the simple script below
bombs as indicated.
------------------paste
C:\temp>pp -o hello.exe hello.pl
C:\temp>hello
Can't locate Win32.pm in @INC (@INC contains: .) at -e line 826.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at -e line 896.
C:\temp>type hello.pl
print "Hello\n";
--------------------end paste
--------------paste version info
C:\temp>perl -MPAR::Packer -e "print \"$PAR::Packer::VERSION\n\""
0.973
C:\temp>perl -MPAR -e "print \"$PAR::VERSION\n\""
0.973
---------------paste version info
There is one other thing that happened. A newer prerequsite Autoloader
had to be installed in order to install PAR.
--------paste PAR message
- AutoLoader ...missing. (would need 5.62)
------end paste
I had never needed to install AutoLoader before. Could there be a
connection between the needing of AutoLoader with the failure to find
Win32? Autoloader installed just fine, by the way. I have installed
PAR and pp many times and I have never run into this.
Mark, what are your error messages?
