Bug #36286 for File-BOM: PAR including File::BOM fails

PAR including File::BOM fails

I just used File::BOM and it failed in a PAR pp executable, although the script worked fine in traditional Perl. I worked around it by forcing an explicit "use Encode::Unicode" which seemed to work fine. I would have expected this to be picked up automatically, but seems to not be counted as an automatic include. It may really be a PAR pp problem, but if "use Encode::Unicode" is always needed, it might be worth adding to File::BOM. Thanks for such a cool and essential module, by the way, it saved a lot of my Windows code!!

This should be closable now. Special handling for File::BOM was added to Module::ScanDeps version 1.20, which PAR::Packer uses to find dependencies. See https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=106144 and https://metacpan.org/changes/distribution/Module-ScanDeps Regards, Shawn. On Thu May 29 15:09:15 2008, morungos2 wrote: Show quoted text
