Your symptoms are typical for a mismatch between the version of your installed Perl and the one used to build the PPM. Please build PAR and PAR::Packer from source. Cheers, Roderich

Just to add, I have downgraded it to 1006. I found a package for Par-Packer for 1006 from bribes. But it still has same issue. thanks On Thu, Jun 3, 2010 at 4:20 PM, Jaswinder Rattanpal <jrattanpal@gmail.com>wrote: Show quoted text

IIRC ActiveState build 1006 is Perl 5.10.0? PAR::Packer simply does NOT work with 5.10.0 (changes in 5.10.0 broke its ability to intercept the loading of XS modules, 5.10.1 reverted these). Cheers, Roderich

You cannot use nmake.exe with MinGW, at least not with ActivePerl. You have to use dmake.exe for MinGW (and nmake.exe for VC). ExtUtils::MakeMaker automatically generates the Makefile in the correct syntax for each make utility, and they are unfortunately not compatible. Cheers, -Jan
