I just tried the following: (Using PAR::Packer 0.977 from CPAN)
- Put in t.pl:
use strict;
use warnings;
print "foo\n";
$ cpan Acme::Bleach
# ...
$ pp -o t -f Bleach -F Bleach -M Math::Symbolic t.pl
$ ./t
foo
$ unzip t
Then:
- script/t.pl is filtered ("bleached")
- lib/strict.pm is filtered
- lib/Math/Symbolic.pm is filtered
AFAICT, main.pl is never filtered. It's really mainly intended as a
starting point for running scripts in a pp'd binary. There are valid
reasons to replace the default implementation, but they're rare. Perhaps
renaming your script from main.pl to something else fixes the issue for you?
Best regards,
Steffen
