Subject:

Par-Packer not including all dependencies

Hi, I recently installed Strawberry Perl 5.12.0.1 on my Windows XP 32 bit machine. I'm trying to use Par::Packer to create a .exe for a perl package. I'm using the standard command: pp -o foo.exe foo.pl The executable itself is created properly, however, when I try running the .exe file, I get the following message: Can't locate unicore/Heavy.pl in @INC (@INC contaings C:\DOCUME~1\me\LOCALS~1\Temp\par-me\cache-(...)\inc\lib C:\DOCUME~1\me\LOCALS~1\Temp\par-me\cache-(...)\inc CODE(0x1260444) CODE(0x1260744)) at utf8_heavy.pl line 96. Font -*-Helvetica-Medium-R-Normal--*-200-*-*-*-*-*-* still in cache. I have a workaround for this by copying the directory C:\Strawberry\perl\lib\unicore to C:\DOCUME~1\me\LOCALS~1\Temp\par-me\cache-(...)\inc\lib Is there any better way to make sure that it's included? (My apologies if this is a simple question - I'm just getting into Perl development). Thanks, ~Steve

Which version of PAR::Packer are you using? Did you build it yourself or got it from some PPM repository? Cheers, Roderich

Hi Roderich, I'm using PAR-Packer-1.004. I built it myself. I also included the 57272-take2.patch from a different thread when installing. Also, I don't know if this information is extraneous, but the packages that my script is calling are: use Tk; use Benchmark; use DBI; use Tk::TableMatrix::Spreadsheet; require Tk::Canvas; require Tk::Frame; require Tk::Text; require Tk::Label; require Tk::Button; require Tk::Entry; require Tk::Scrollbar; require Tk::ComboEntry; require Tk::Listbox; require Tk::Dialog; require Tk::Menu; require Tk::RadiobuttonGroup; require Spreadsheet::WriteExcel; require Tk::LabFrame; use Tk::ProgressBar::Mac; use Class::MethodMaker; use Win32::Word::Writer; Thanks, ~Steve

Sorry, that patch is irrelevant for your problem (and didn't fix the original problem anyway)... Looking a bit more closely at the error message: unicore/Heavy.pl appeared first in Perl 5.12.0. Now utf8_heavy.pl that actually does require this file (and a bunch of others below unicore) does so in way that can't be detected by static analysis. The analysis is done by Module::ScanDeps which has indeed an exception rule to add lots of stuff below unicore. Unfortunately that rule is a little bit out of date for 5.12.0. Can you try the following patch for Module::ScanDeps (install it, then re-pack your script and see what happens)? Cheers, Roderich

Thanks for testing, Steve. Patch commited, will be in the next release of Module::ScanDeps. Cheers, Roderich

Why do you re-open a ticket for a different problem than the one you are reporting? Anyway, I can't reproduce Show quoted text

Nonsense, that patch is (a) irrelevant to your problem and (b) NOT contained in any released version of Module::ScanDeps. I'm closing this ticket. Feel free to open a new ticket (or re-open one that actually matches your problem); in any case make sure you have a released version of Module::ScanDeps installed. Cheers, Roderich
