Hi, I have a simple test case Put this into a file called ~you/bin/foo.pl #!/usr/bin/perl use POSIX; print "hello world\n"; (BTW, the key thing that makes it fail is use POSIX) then pp foo.pl -o foo then make sure ~you/bin is in your PATH then go somewhere else on your system and try and execute foo. For me, it just hangs ( :-( ) If i give it the absolute path (~you/bin/foo), it works just find.. If I wanted to make something do that, I would find it hard! Whats going on? BTW.... perl -version gives This is perl, v5.8.4 built for i386-linux-thread-multi pp -version give Perl Packager, version 0.12 (PAR version 0.87) I'm running on a debian "testing" (Serge) system... Any help much appreciated! Cheers Mark.

Hi Mark, sorry for the late answer. I cannot reproduce this with the latest release of PAR: 0.93. So I guess this might either not be a PAR issue or it has been fixed. Can you reproduce the problem with 0.93? Steffen

Sorry that the answer came this late. I didn't even maintain PAR 18 months ago. But I'm trying to catch up. If you ever have some development time to burn, pop into par@perl.org or just dig through this RT ticket queue ;) Cheers, Steffen
