This code my $file = __FILE__; open(my $fh, "<", $file); simply cannot work in a packed context: the file may not even exist as such, as the code is compiled by reading from a zip archive. In any case, __FILE__ is faked (using #line) to the name of the unpacked file so that at least error messages contain useful information. Cheers, Roderich
