I took your advice and I'm trying to get Par-Packer up and running on my SCO 5.0.6 box. I finally got a working compiler but I'm having trouble getting Par-Packer compiled and installed.
I ran perl Makefile.PL followed by make and got: cp lib/PAR/Packer.pm blib/lib/PAR/Packer.pm cp lib/PAR/Filter/Obfuscate.pm blib/lib/PAR/Filter/Obfuscate.pm cp lib/PAR/Filter/PodStrip.pm blib/lib/PAR/Filter/PodStrip.pm cp lib/PAR/StrippedPARL/Base.pm blib/lib/PAR/StrippedPARL/Base.pm cp lib/App/Packer/PAR.pm blib/lib/App/Packer/PAR.pm cp lib/PAR/Filter.pm blib/lib/PAR/Filter.pm cp lib/PAR/Filter/PatchContent.pm blib/lib/PAR/Filter/PatchContent.pm cp lib/PAR/StrippedPARL/Dynamic.pm blib/lib/PAR/StrippedPARL/Dynamic.pm cp lib/PAR/Filter/Bytecode.pm blib/lib/PAR/Filter/Bytecode.pm cp lib/pp.pm blib/lib/pp.pm cp lib/PAR/Filter/Bleach.pm blib/lib/PAR/Filter/Bleach.pm cp lib/PAR/StrippedPARL/Static.pm blib/lib/PAR/StrippedPARL/Static.pm make[1]: Entering directory `/LDM/par-packer/myldr' perl sha1.c.PL sha1.c cc -c -U M_XENIX -D PERL_SCO -D HAS_FPSETMASK -w0 -belf -I/usr/local/include -I/usr/gnu/include -I/usr/local/lib/perl5/5.12.3/i386-sco/CORE -DPARL_EXE=\"parl\" -O0 main.c cc: unrecognized option `-w0' perl ./file2c.pl -s ../script/par.pl my_par_pl.c load_my_par_pl cc -c -U M_XENIX -D PERL_SCO -D HAS_FPSETMASK -w0 -belf -I/usr/local/include -I/usr/gnu/include -I/usr/local/lib/perl5/5.12.3/i386-sco/CORE -DPARL_EXE=\"parl\" -O0 my_par_pl.c cc: unrecognized option `-w0' ld main.o my_par_pl.o -Wl,-Bexport -L/usr/local/lib -L/usr/local/lib -L/usr/gnu/lib -L/usr/local/lib/perl5/5.12.3/i386-sco/CORE -lperl -lintl -lsocket -lnsl -lld -lm -lcrypt -lsec -lc -o ./par ld: ERROR: Illegal option -- W TO FIX: usage: i386ld [-abmrstvGV] [-defholuyzBILMR argument] file(s) ... make[1]: *** [par] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/LDM/par-packer/myldr' make: *** [subdirs] Error 2 I guess my compiler doesn't understand the -W ...

Any help on getting pp up and running on my SCO 5.0.6 is much appreciated.

Well, the packed executable is kinda sensitive to the OS environment, so I wouldn't expect it to work on e.g. a Linux box (on the same hardware platform). But I would expect that any executable built on SCO 5.0.7 would run on SCO 5.0.6 unchanged on account that the versions differ only in the third position. But vendors usually guarantee compatibility only in the other direction. IOW: try packing your application on SCO 5.0.6.
