Hi, After an attempt to make an executable with pp on MS Windows Vista Enterprise from .pl I have received the following message: Undefined subroutine &version::vxs::_VERSION called at C:/Perl/site/lib/PAR/Packer.pm line 566.

The basics, please: - your versions of PAR, PAR::Packer, Module::ScanDeps? - did you build them yourself? if so, did you run the test suite? - did you run the packed executable on the same machine where you packed it? - did you try a minimal example, e.g. pp -o hello.exe -e "print qq[hello\n]" .\hello.exe Note that this a probably a lost cause, because PAR::Packer does NOT work fully with Perl 5.10.0 (all versions below or above are OK). Cheers, Roderich

Hi, Module::ScanDeps ver 0.98 PAR ver 1.000 Par::Packer 1.008 This is Win32 version - installed with PPM I have received this message in attempt to compile. Even with minimal example I receive this error message - so I am not able to compile anything. Show quoted text

OK, sometimes prebuilt versions of PAR::Packer don't work with your installed version of Perl (even if they claim to do so). Please build PAR::Packer from source (including running "[dn]make test") and attach build+test log. Show quoted text

Just for clarification: pp doesn't "compile" anything - it merely packs your script and all needed modules into something like a self-extracting zip file. Cheers, Roderich

Hi, I've upgraded PAR packet from ver 1.000 to ver 1.002 "please build PAR::Packer from source (including running "[dn]make test")" - How to do that in Windows Vista Ent environment ? "Just for clarification: pp doesn't "compile" anything - it merely packs your script and all needed modules into something like a self-extracting zip file." - I don't have any output from command "pp -o test example.pl" Only the error message : "Undefined subroutine &version::vxs::_VERSION called at C:/Perl/site/lib/PAR/Packer.pm line" 566.

Like any other Perl module, e.g. using the "cpan" command. You'll need a C compiler for PAR::Packer. If you you have VisualStudio, just make sure that the path to the C compiler is in the environment when you invoke "cpan". Otherwise use MingW. I think ActiveState has a ppm "mingw" or something, install that first. Show quoted text

the error message : "Undefined subroutine &version::vxs::_VERSION called at C:/Perl/site/lib/PAR/Packer.pm line" 566. Is this really the same error message when trying to pp the trivial example (hello.exe)? Cheers, Roderich

s::_VERSION called at inc/Module/Install/Makefile.pm line 357. Your Perl installation looks broken: check for conflicting versions of the module "version.pm" along your module search path (@INC). There's probably a "version.pm" from the Perl core and another one from CPAN. Both may have an XS part in ...\auto\version\vxs\vxs.dll, one of which may be missing etc. Looks like "use version" loads the Perl part of version.pm from one installation and the XS part (vxs.dll) from the other and they are not compatible.

Hi, Roderich After upgrading with PPM, package 'version' from ver.0.79 to ver.0.88 and reinstalling package Par::Packer ver.1.008 everything works fine. You can close the ticket. Thank you for assistance and time. Show quoted text
