I received an error building PAR::Packer under ActivePerl v5.14.2 on
Windows 7 (64-bit). The specific error was because MakeMaker would fail on
the "use File::Glob ':bsd_glob';" for this version of Perl.
Correct me if I'm mistaken, but it appears that, with the way File::Glob is
being used, this can be changed to just "use File::Glob;" and where glob()
is used in find_dll() can be changed to bsd_glob() (it doesn't look like it
depends on the special behavior that "use File::Glob ':bsd_glob';" gives).
At least, in my case, this allowed me to successfully build and run
PAR::Packer 1.018.
I'll attach "perl -v" and "perl -V" output separately, but I am using PAR
1.007 and PAR-Dist 0.49 from ActiveState's build, and managed to build
PAR-Packer 1.018 by hand (let CPAN do most of the heavy lifting, and re-ran
the makefile myself)
Thanks!
