Hi everyone, I am a bit confused about the functionality of pp (Par packager). Basically, I have created a packaged .pl file using the following command
pp -P -o bagphenotype.pl source.pl Now, I assumed that the benefit of doing this was that this version of my program would not need the .par archive included in the source.pl version of the code. Like in source.pl, I have a line that says use PAR 'packedmodules.par'; and the .par file is included in its directory to supply all of the .pm modules that are necessary. I don't really understand the point of creating bagphenotype.pl if it is still dependent on packedmodules.par being included with it? What is being done in bagphenotype.pl that is useful for packaging and distributing my software if I still have to distribute the .par archive and even unzip the .par archive if I want to run bagphenotype.pl from a remote directory on the new system where the package is being deployed? -Evan
