Can pp be used without installed dependencies?
I have a build machine that depends on specific versions of Perl modules. I want to include the Par Packer utility on that build machine but I don't want to install the dependencies: -Archive::Zip 1 (not available) -ExtUtils::MakeMaker 6.42 ( v 6.17 available) -Getopt::ArgvFile 1.07 (Not available) -Module::ScanDeps 0.93 (Not available) -PAR 0.994 (Not available) -PAR::Dist 0.22 (not available) Perl version: This is perl, v5.8.6 built for MSWin32-x86-multi-thread (with 3 registered patches, see perl -V for more detail) Copyright 1987-2004, Larry Wall Binary build 811 provided by ActiveState Corp. http://www.ActiveState.com ActiveState is a division of Sophos. Built Dec 13 2004 09:52:01 I am able to populate the lib directory but I am unable to actually install the modules (i.e. execute make). Is it at all possible to use the Perl Packer under such curcumstances? Is there a stand-alone executing Par Packer?

Uh-oh, is this the dreaded DarkPAN :) I am able to populate the lib directory but I am unable to actually install the modules (i.e. execute make).

Just for fun, I just pp'ed the script pp itself and tried to use the resulting executable to pack a hello world script - doesn't work. It complains about missing core modules, but I checked that they have been correctly packed into the expected area. There are some subtle ordering restrictions during the bootstrapping process of a packed executable and pp seems to run afoul of them. So short answer: nope either. Cheers, Roderich

Thanks. I didn't think so but it was worth a shot in the dark. :-) Cheers, ~ Jon - Original Message - From: Roderich Schupp roderich.sch...@googlemail.com To: Jonathan Robinson Cc: par@perl.org par@perl.org Sent: Fri Sep 25 06:43:27 2009 Subject: Re: Can pp be used without installed dependencies?
