Hello Roderich:
You are making no sense: The latest ScanDeps is what caused the problem (so
apparently it doesn't work with PAR Packer 1.023). The one I installed
doesn't even meet the requirement you show below, but it worked. I posted
this thread requesting help and all you give me is grief and bullshit. When
I reported the problem, I knew there was a problem with ScanDeps, but there
was no problem installing ScanDeps (also there is no rule for make test on
it), and the error only appeared when doing a make test or executing pp. I
was requesting help with the problem, which I didn't get until you
recommended cpan below. All I got back is - ScanDeps was installed
incorrectly. How do you install it incorrectly? It is just a make and make
install just like PAR-Packer. I wasn't missing any dependencies - make test
or not. It is an incompatibility between PAR-Packer and the latest ScanDeps.

No, YOU are not helpful here. You should NOT install Perl modules
without running "make test". Also you're generally on your own if "make
test" fails
and you install the modules nonetheless. Your're welcome to submit a bug
report in this case, though.

Nonsense, PAR::Packer states (Makefile.PL)
requires 'Module::ScanDeps' => '1.17';
If you did the whole "download and unpack tarball, perl Makefile.PL, make,
make test, make install" dance by hand, then running "perl Makefile.PL"
would have
shown that you are missing dependencies. If you did ignore that, then
at least "make test" would have failed.
BTW, I heavily recommend to use a program like "cpan" (comes with Perl core)
or "cpanm" to install Perl modules. Both would have inferred the above
dependency
of PAR::Packer and installed Modules::ScanDeps BEFORE working on
PAR::Packer.
Cheers, Roderich
