Bug #62357 for PAR-Packer: .cgi extension not taken as script

Thu Oct 21 18:02:53 2010 alastair.douglas [...] gmail.com - Ticket created

Subject:	.cgi extension not taken as script
Date:	Thu, 21 Oct 2010 23:02:45 +0100
To:	bug-par [...] rt.cpan.org
From:	Alastair Douglas <alastair.douglas [...] gmail.com>

It seems like only .pl and no extension at all are considered Perl scripts: http://scsys.co.uk:8002/53812 Anything else, and the dependencies are not scraped and nothing but the script itself is packed. This is not documented, hence I assume it is a bug.

It's kinda documented if you know where to look :) cf. http://search.cpan.org/~rschupp/Module-ScanDeps-0.98/lib/Module/ScanDeps.pm#NOTES about $Module::ScanDeps::ScanFileRE We can definitely add a remark along these lines to the pp's POD. Or we can fix it by calling into Module::ScanDeps with $Module::ScanDeps::ScanFileRE = qr/./; This is definitely how perl itself works: the command line and "require" do NOT discriminate against any suffix (or lack of). Cheers, Roderich

I've committed this, will be in the next release. Note: For now I've restricted this setting to Module::ScanDeps functions (using "local") that are ultimatively called from pp.pm (and thus pp). Anyone using PAR::Packer directly should still see the old behaviour.

Fixed in PAR::Packer 1.010 (actually 1.008 - forgot to close this bug)
