Hi,
I have tried to create a PAR archive from a perl script using a module with so
called share dir (see
http://search.cpan.org/dist/Module-Install/lib/Module/Install/Share.pm or
http://search.cpan.org/dist/File-ShareDir/lib/File/ShareDir.pm).
What I have expected is that in my_perl_script.pl does "use
MyModule::WithShare;" that PAR packer will also include the content of
distribution share dir of the distribution containing MyModule::WithShare.
However the resulting PAR file does not seem to contain files installed into
dist share dir.
I am not saying this is a bug; maybe I have not specified some necessary
parameter when running pp command (I simply run: pp -o test.par
my_perl_script.pl) or perhaps this issue should be discussed somewhere else
(Module::ScanDeps?).
Some details about my test environment:
- Win32 Strawberry Perl 5.10.1
- PAR::Packer 1.002
- Module::ScanDeps 0.96
Could you please give me some hint on how to get share dir content into a PAR
archive? I gues that it should be possible as there exists File::ShareDir::PAR
that solves a problem how to find share dir inside PAR (I am currently not even
able to create such a PAR).
Thanks in advance for any feedback.
