Hi, lately, I've been wondering whether anybody actually uses the -P (stand-alone script with stuff embedded as a ZIP) option to pp.
It's caused head-aches, I've never used it, I can't see the advantage over the other modes (specifically .par's and "perl par.pl"), and losing a feature which nobody uses would potentially make the code slightly leaner and cleaner. It just doesn't seem to be worth it and I feel it exists mostly for the "ooh, isn't this cool" effect. Opinions? What would you say if we were to deprecate the feature for half a year before removal? Best regards, Steffen
