Hi Angan,
PAR::Packer should fulfill that requirement :)
There's little information in your report to diagnose the problem.
Please answer the questions below:
- which operating system
Suse on SLES10 and SLES11 machines
- which version of Perl: please provide the output of
"perl -v" and "perl -V"
/usr/bin/perl -v
This is perl, v5.8.8 built for x86_64-linux-thread-multi
- where did you get PAR::Packer from:
- did you build it yourself (using "cpan" or similar)?
- if yes, did you run the test suite and did it pass?
I tried to build it myself but then noticed its already installed in our
environment by the env-team. And so what it implies is its already installed
property and tested.
/usr/intel/pkgs/perl/5.14.1/bin/pp
- does the problem happen with a trivial script, e.g.
$ pp -o hello.exe -e 'print "hello, world\n"'
$ ./hello.exe
Yes and no both. I tried running it on a different setup (basically some shell
variables set) and it ran fine. I tried running it on a fresh xterm and it ran
fine. However, its failing in some particular xterm in some particular setup. I
am sure it would be a setup related problem. But I want to rootcause it or
narrow down the case.
Also, once compiled on Suse-64, will it run fine across all other OS-es –
Redhat, Ubuntu, etc.
- if not, please provide a minimal example
BTW, it's not necessary to explicitly CC any maintainers of the module - they
are subscribed to rt.cpan.org anyway.
Cheers, Roderich
