Subject: Executables built with pp require perl56.dll to run
PAR-0.69 I used the pre-built .par for Perl 5.6.1 on Windows from http://www.cpan.org/modules/by-module/PAR/AUTRIJUS/PAR-0.69-MSWin32-x86-multi-thread-5.6.1.par OS is Windows2000 Perl is v5.6.1 (Build 633 from ActiveState) If I generate a (supposedly) self-contained executable with "pp -o ..." and run it on a machine with no Perl whatsoever installed, it complains about missing perl56.dll. Apparently parl.exe has the same problem. I tried the slightly older PPM2 for PAR from the ActiveState repository, same symptom there. BTW, this problem isn't specific to Windows. I built PAR-0.69 from source on Debian sid for i386. Debian sid has Perl 5.8.0 (multithread). Both parl and any executable generated by pp are linked against libperl56.so as shown by ldd (hence won't work on a machine without Perl installed). Note that on Debian the perl binary itself is statically linked gainst libperl, but they also provide a shared libperlXX.so (and Config.pm reflects the latter build option). Cheers, Roderich

This is Not A Bug. "perldoc pp" says: Note that if your perl was built with a shared library, the 'Stand-alone setup' above will still need a separate perl5x.dll or libperl.so to function correctly. Patches to include a copy of libperl with the executable are most welcome. It is expected that PAR 0.69_9x (development release toward 0.70) will address this issue. Thanks, /Autrijus/

By 0.72, "pp" builds really self-contained executables by default. :-) Thanks, /Autrijus/
