Re: Can't get PAR packager to run pp


On my old system, running Perl 5.8 and PAR .90, pp.bat lives in \perl\site\bin, so it appears that the entire structure of PAR has changed.

Has anyone gotten this to work?

Thanks for all your help,

Tony




I found the problem!
As described here: http://par.wikia.com/wiki/FAQ#Why_doesn.27t_PAR_include_pp_any_more.3F

-----------
Why doesn't PAR include pp any more?

With version 0.970, the monolithic PAR distribution was split into a core PAR distribution which is pure-Perl and a PAR-Packer distribution which contains all the development tools and anything that might need a C compiler.

This change enables users to install the light-weight PAR module and use it to access .par files without requiring a C compiler for tools which they might never need.

So all you have to do is install PAR Packer, and all is well.

Thanks for all your help,

Tony
