I tried the patch and it worked for me, without the -f options since I don't have those packages installed. Make sure you are patching the par.pl in the source distribution and that you do a clean build and install of the PAR::Packer package with the patch applied. An incremental build after the change might not be enough.
Also, you may see no debug output due to buffering. Try setting $|=1 at the top of the script. --Scott -----Original Message----- From: Roderich Schupp [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, January 08, 2008 9:27 AM To: Steffen Mueller Cc: Henry Wu; Scott Stanton; par@perl.org Subject: Re: problem with pp On Jan 8, 2008 4:55 PM, Steffen Mueller <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Sorry, but I can't test it.

I can also reproduce that the fix doesn't work. I think that it's in the wrong place: when running testpp.exe with PAR_DEBUG=1 shouldn't I see the outs(...) messages in both cases - but there's no debug output at all. Cheers, Roderich
