Subject:

format error: bad signature errors

I am using PAR 0.85 and Archive::Zip 1.14 on FreeBSD with Perl 5.8.5 and Compress-Zlib-1.33. I get these errors (file names changed, otherwise verbatim) format error: bad signature: 0x36657361 at offset 707454 in file /usr/ipas/libexec/foo.par at A.pm line 53 format error: bad signature: 0x36657361 at offset 707454 in file /usr/ipas/libexec/foo.par at A.pm line 53 format error: bad signature: 0xc5d1befd at offset 338665 in file /usr/ipas/libexec/foo.par at B.pm line 70 I'm attempting to determine whether the file or memory has been corrupted somehow since this does not always happen, but that seems unlikely.

I know this is a very late answer, but can you reproduce this with the most current PAR release (0.92)? Steffen
