Hi Roderich Thanks for the comment. The author (I Pavlov) of 7-zip asked me about the file produced by
pp -o file.par script.pl “7-Zip now checks only first 4 MB for zip headers. But that archive contains some big sfx-stub that is larger than 4 MB. Why does it add 4 MB win32 PE Executable STUB to zip archive?” http://sourceforge.net/p/sevenzip/discussion/45798/thread/1b7a2f9a/?limit=25#22c1 I Suggest Mr Pavlov to ask his question to the par mailing list, Probably, the limit of 4 MB is something that has changed with the new version of 7-Zip. Should I switch to IO::Uncompress::Unzip ?

I have moved from PAR v. 1.012 to 1.025 when I reinstall a new version of my strawberry perl. I recently used pp for a simple script and the resulting exe was ok. Now I'm trying to reproduce a series of steps to package a gui application, (steps that were working with my old perl install) One of these step was to unzip the par file produced by a call to pp pp -v 3 -cd .\ppcache -a glade ... -o %file%.par %inputfile% but the par par file can not be unzipped using 7z (v. 15.12) or Jar No changes in PAR and PAR::Packer here: they use Archive::Zip for reading and generating .par (i.e. zip) files. Cheers, Roderich
