Mon Sep 02 15:26:20 2013: Request 88297 was acted upon. Transaction: Correspondence added by NGLENN Queue: PAR-Packer Subject: -M crashes pp if option contains backslashes Broken in: 1.014 Severity: (no value) Owner: RSCHUPP Requestors: ngl...@cpan.org Status: open Ticket <URL: https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=88297 >
Sorry to bring this up again. Just in the way of documentation, executing pp the way I did still results in an error later on. If somebody gets the following error the first time they run their executable (and not subsequent times), it is because they used the -M option incorrectly (the way I did): mkdir C:\Users\...\AppData\Local\Temp\par-xyz\cache-abc/inc/lib/C:/: Invalid argument; The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect at C:/strawberry/perl/vendor/lib/Archive/Zip/Archive.pm line 192. This is purely due to user error, but a fail-fast mechanism might be useful. Otherwise, this will at least be a web search result.
