And there are two more problems with PAR-Packer-1.013, unrelated to
mingw/cygwin:
1. -Mblib within myldr fails to find PAR::Filter::PodStrip
you need to use -Mblib -Mblib=..
2. myldr/blib/lib/PAR/StrippedPARL/Static.pm cannot be found when
PAR::StrippedPARL::Static is not installed,
You did not add myldr to libscan (preferred), and did not add myldr to -Mblib.
All this because of a wrong logic in the main Makefile.PL ("double
negation always causes trouble")
You need to release-test it with PAR modules uninstalled.
And then there are still more failing tests, which looks like wrong tests.
The code looks so obfuscated compared to when I last looked at it, sorry
I cannot really help you out on this mess today. Also the identation
looks horrible.
Revised patch attached.
