Hi All,

I am hoping that you can answer what I think is a very simple question
regarding PAR::Packer. I am using the "pp" utility to package up a Perl
program under Cygwin on Windows XP using the following syntax:

pp -o test.exe test.pl

This produces test.exe which depends on various cygwin dlls. If I
attempt to run test.exe by double clicking on it from within Windows it
works fine, but if I attempt to run it from a Windows command prompt
(cmd.exe) then I get the following output:

Usage: test [ -Alib.par ] [ -Idir ] [ -Mmodule ] [ src.par ] [ program.pl ]
       test [ -B|-b ] [-Ooutfile] src.par

I can't think what the difference is between running a program by double
clicking on it versus running it from a command prompt? Has anyone else
seen this problem before or know what I am going wrong?

Thanks,
Chris
