AFAICT, no. But I think this is a useful suggestion: as pp-packed executable should be considered self-contained, they should not be subject to external settings like PERL5LIB (Principle of Least Surprise). But there are probably use cases for obeying PERL5LIB, too. So I suggest: - pp-packed executables should ignore PERL5LIB - but they treat PAR_PERL5LIB (or some such) the same way as "regular" Perl scripts treat PERL5LIB Looks like this could be implemented by a few lines in function par_init_env() in myldr/utils.c. What do others think? Cheers, Roderich
