Hi, there's a problem with "pp -M ...". It shows when you compare the result of the following commands
$ pp -o use.exe -p "use $MOD; print q[OK]" $ pp -o minusm.exe -M $MOD -e "print q[OK]" for some MOD (e.g. MOD=Tie::IxHash,Encode::Unicode,DBI) Comparing the zip's contents (as shown by "unzip -l use.exe" etc) gives MOD=Tie::IxHash --- use.toc Wed Jan 21 15:02:50 2004 +++ minusm.toc Wed Jan 21 15:02:50 2004 @@ -16,7 +16,6 @@ lib/Text/ParseWords.pm lib/Thread.pm lib/Tie/Hash.pm -lib/Tie/IxHash.pm lib/XSLoader.pm lib/auto/DynaLoader/autosplit.ix lib/auto/DynaLoader/dl_expandspec.al MOD=Encode::Unicode --- use.toc Wed Jan 21 14:34:06 2004 +++ minusm.toc Wed Jan 21 14:34:07 2004 @@ -11,7 +11,6 @@ lib/Encode/Alias.pm lib/Encode/Config.pm lib/Encode/Encoding.pm -lib/Encode/Unicode.pm lib/Exporter.pm lib/Exporter/Heavy.pm lib/Fcntl.pm @@ -31,9 +30,6 @@ lib/auto/Encode/Encode.bs lib/auto/Encode/Encode.dll lib/auto/Encode/Encode.exp -lib/auto/Encode/Unicode/Unicode.bs -lib/auto/Encode/Unicode/Unicode.dll -lib/auto/Encode/Unicode/Unicode.exp lib/auto/Fcntl/Fcntl.bs lib/auto/Fcntl/Fcntl.dll lib/auto/Fcntl/Fcntl.exp MOD=DBI --- use.toc Wed Jan 21 15:13:34 2004 +++ minusm.toc Wed Jan 21 15:13:34 2004 @@ -16,7 +16,6 @@ lib/DBD/Oracle.pm lib/DBD/Oracle/GetInfo.pm lib/DBD/Sponge.pm -lib/DBI.pm lib/DBI/PurePerl.pm lib/Data/Dumper.pm lib/DynaLoader.pm @@ -75,16 +74,6 @@ lib/auto/DBD/Oracle/dbdimp.h lib/auto/DBD/Oracle/mk.pm lib/auto/DBD/Oracle/ocitrace.h -lib/auto/DBI/DBI.bs -lib/auto/DBI/DBI.dll -lib/auto/DBI/DBI.exp -lib/auto/DBI/DBI.pdb -lib/auto/DBI/DBIXS.h -lib/auto/DBI/Driver.xst -lib/auto/DBI/Driver_xst.h -lib/auto/DBI/dbd_xsh.h -lib/auto/DBI/dbi_sql.h -lib/auto/DBI/dbipport.h lib/auto/Data/Dumper/Dumper.bs lib/auto/Data/Dumper/Dumper.dll lib/auto/Data/Dumper/Dumper.exp i.e. the module itself (both pm and dll in case of an XS module) is MIA for "pp -M ..." though all modules it depends on are there. I can reproduce this on Linux and WinXp (using perl 5.8.2, PAR 0.79, Module::Scandeps 0.38 on both platforms). Cheers, Roderich
