Below is a quick patch to make --add actuall add the requested file(s)
instead of merely scanning it for dependancies.
Wait, --add really works for me. What file(s) failed to --add for you?
Are they .pm files?
I'll need to tackle an extract all .pm and .pod modules to somewhere in
@INC behavior to get my online help working (vcp help VCP::Foo scans
@INC for VCP/Foo.{pm,pod} and POD::Texts it). Any guidance about where
to look, what to change?
I think one possible way is to force-assign the temp/cache file name
into the $INC{} hash, instead of their current value of CODE(abcdef).
How to do that is left as an exercise for the list, or at least until I
get more tuits. :-)
Thanks,

Hopefully it's PEBKAC. Here's what I do and how I'm checking (*lots* of
-adds elided). I'm expecting to see a lib/VCP/DB_File.pm in the

You can see the source for DB_File here in case it's a scanner bug:

This is fundable for reasonable amounts of funding. I'll dig in and do
it or you can. My alternative is to simply bundle the files I need
from the disk in to and to have Perl code in vcp.exe extract them as
need be.

Woohoo! That, with perl5.8.2, fixes VCP on WinXP. Many thanks to Andy

Re: Another sighting of Can't spawn parl.exe: No error at c:\Perl\bin\pp line 372
I've added a question to the FAQ about this problem.
Re: Can't spawn parl.exe: No error at c:\Perl\bin\pp line 372
I apoligise if this message doesn't get posted to the par mailing list correctly - I'm trying here... I, too, had problems with parl.exe not spawning. I am running Windows XP Pro (WinXP WinXPPro), and I have MSVC++ installed. I am using ActiveState's perl. Whenever I tried to generate things with pp, I would get this error (Can't spawn parl.exe: No error at c:\Perl\bin\pp line 372), and a nice little MS window would pop up asking me if I wanted to debug, etc. Even better, if I ran parl.exe, it would immediately crash, giving me the same window, but no error message. Finally, I used ppm to install par, and -lo and behold!-, it seems to be working. I guess it couldn't find Par.pm and was dying. Hope my experience helps!! Peter __ Do you Yahoo!?

Re: Can't spawn parl.exe: No error at c:\Perl\bin\pp line 372
In case it helps, it looks like parl.exe runs consistently for me on WinXPPro. I don't have your program to try, but running pp on simple scripts and executing them also appears to work correctly. Setup: OS: WinXPPro Perl: Activestate 5.8.0 Built 00:45:44 Mar 31, 2003 PAR: 0.75 (from binary) If there is anything I can help test for this, please let me know.

Any ideas? More info: parl.exe launches reliably on Win2KPro. Spoke too soon. Every once in a while I get the same failure when running pp on Win2KPro. I also get silent, quick exits occasionally when running the generated executable, unfortunately. I'm running both Win2K and WinXP under VMWare, but all other executables seem to load well and run (we run some pretty serious C++ compiles on win2k, for instance). - Barrie
