PP'd binary doesn't use par from a PAR::Repository

[Tim Hoke]

Hi Everyone,

Is there a mechanism which will allow me to create a pp'd binary which
can self-update from a PAR::Repository at run-time?

I can create a script which will make use of the PAR::Repository, but
as soon as I create a pp'd binary (EXE or .par), the repository is no
longer used.

Here's what I've got as a demo:

demo $ find . -type f
./blib/Demo.pm
./demo.pl
./Demo.pm

demo $ cat demo.pl
use PAR { repository => 'file:///tmp/demo/repo',
            fallback => 0,      # check repo first
        };

use Demo;

print "$Demo::ORIGIN\n";

demo $ cat Demo.pm
package Demo;
our $ORIGIN = 'builtin';
1;

demo $ cat blib/Demo.pm
package Demo;
our $ORIGIN = 'repo';
1;

demo $ perl -MPAR::Dist -e 'blib_to_par(name=>"Demo",version=>"0.1")'
Successfully created binary distribution
'Demo-0.1-darwin-2level-5.16.0.par'.
Its contents are accessible in compliant browsers as:

jar:file:///private/tmp/demo/Demo-0.1-darwin-2level-5.16.0.par!/MANIFEST

demo $ parrepo create
Creating new repository at 'repo'.

demo $ parrepo inject -f Demo-0.1-darwin-2level-5.16.0.par
Injecting file 'Demo-0.1-darwin-2level-5.16.0.par' into repository.

demo $ pp -M PAR::Repository::Client -M DBM::Deep::Engine::File -o demo.exe
demo.pl
demo $ pp -M PAR::Repository::Client -M DBM::Deep::Engine::File -p
-o demo.par demo.pl

demo $ perl demo.pl
repo

demo $ parl demo.par
builtin

demo $ ./demo.exe
builtin
