Bug #20174 for PAR: PAR 0.93, pp error "No such file", debian etch binary

Subject:	pp problem/bug ?

I seem to have stumbled on a problem I'm unable to address. I run, $ pp my_script.pl but instead of getting the binary a.out I get, Open failed: No such file or directory at -e line 555 Here is my_script.pl's contents --- my_script.pl start --- #!/usr/bin/perl print "Hello there\n"; --- my_script.pl end --- I don't have an open in my code at line 555 (or anywhere close as you can see above) so I'm guessing this is something within 'pp'/parl itself. I'm using debian testing/etch with libpar-perl version 0.93-1 (I tried downgrading to 0.92-1 yet that version didn't work either though it did a few months and a few debian upgrades ago (I'm guessing this is an external library interaction issue)); here is my uname, uname -a : Linux plum 2.6.15-1-486 #2 i686 GNU/Linux Any ideas ? BTW: on a very unimportant note, do please consider renaming pp to say parlp or perlp or ... (akin to perlcc or similar). Regards, - Nadim Show quoted text

Hi Nadim, thank you for your bug report. On Mi. 28. Jun. 2006, 19:22:38, shaikli@yahoo.com wrote: Show quoted text

Okay, on my local debian/etch server, I get: tsee@hans:~$ perl t.pl Hello there tsee@hans:~$ pp t.pl tsee@hans:~$ ./a.out Hello there tsee@hans:~$ cat t.pl #!/usr/bin/perl print "Hello there\n"; This is also using libpar-perl 0.93-1. So basically, I cannot reproduce your problem, sorry. Would you try to, as root, delete all directories in /tmp/ of the form /tmp/par-temp /tmp/par-USERNAME /tmp/par-root etc? This is unlikely to help since if this was related you would probably be getting a permission denied error. Show quoted text

Same architecture here. Does the error persist when you install PAR from CPAN? It should be pretty straightforward to do provided you have gcc: $ cpan PAR (then configure CPAN.pm if you haven't done so) The problem with the error message is that it isn't reported where the error occurs. If you would like to debug this problem, please install the Carp::Indeed module (from CPAN, supposedly) and run pp as follows: $ perl -MCarp::Indeed `which pp` your_script.pl Of course, `which pp` will most likely be /usr/bin/pp anyway.

I can't, easily. First, I didn't name it, I'm just a maintainer and second, other stuff (outside PAR) has come to rely on it. Send mail to the PAR author if you would like to discuss this. Steffen
