Hi Jens, FYI (but that's not related to your current problem): Note that PAR::Packer doesn't work on Perl 5.10.0 - that version of Perl broke PAR::Packer's method to intercept the loading of XS modules. It looks as if PAR::Packer is working as long as the build and target system are identical perlwise. Things fall apart when you run on a target system that has no Perl installed at all or a different version than on the build machine. Perl 5.10.1 or 5.12.x do work. > This evening I will check the code under XP and AktivePerl 5.12. > Where can I get the PAR::Packer 1.00x for AktivePerl 5.10 ? I suggest building it yourself. You'll need a C compiler and the dmake utility. If using ActiveState Perl, you can install both hem with ppm install MinGW Why build it yourself? Because PAR::Packer is very sensitive to the version of Perl it was build against - it should be identical to the Perl you run "pp" on. (Note that the generated executables are *not* sensitive to the version of Perl - if any - where they are *invoked*.) PPM repositories claim that their PAR::Packer package was built against a certain Perl version. But they are often wrong, leading to hard to diagnose problems with executables packed with this PAR::Packer. Cheers, Roderich
