Re: Why is PerlApp's .exe package smaller than PAR?

BTW, can you tell me, why the programs made using the Tk library are not accessible at all for screen readers? (while Win32::GUI is very accessible) Because of the TCL/TK library, or because of its port to perl...? Thank you. Teddy - Original Message - From: "Jan Dubois" <[EMAIL PROTECT

Scratch that, PPM is *sort of* down, for some people, sometimes. We're still looking into it, but for example I was just able to install DBD::mysql on Linux, whereas earlier this morning this failed with the usual ( admittedly obscure ) error message: PPM::PPD::init: not a PPD and not a file: Th

PPM is down. =) We're working on it, and hope to have things back to normal later today ( keep in mind we're PST over here, and developers sleep in apparently ) JeffG Lynn. Rickards wrote: Lynn. Rickards wrote: Sisyphus wrote: Hi, D:\pscrpt>ppm install DBI PPM::PPD::init: not a PPD and no

MIME::Lite exception handling?

After reading the docs for the module I can find a way to manage an exception thrown by the send method when the mailhost is down. The program dies with the error "Failed to connect to mail server: Invalid argument". Is there a way to trap this error and let the program continue? I would think tha

If you don't get satisfactory answers here, try the PAR mailing list. (See http://lists.cpan.org .) I think (not sure) that various aspects of PerlApp vs PAR have been covered previously on the PAR list - so you might find something in that list's archive. Thanks Rob. Thanks for spotting th
