| Subject: | pp includes way too much modules (when using 'use strict;')? |

Hi list,
I just wondered why my exe binaries are so much
bigger than they used to be with older releases
of PAR::Packer and Module::ScanDeps.
A very simple test:
<test.pl>
#!perl -w
use strict;
print "hello world...\n";
</test.pl>
pp -vvv -o test.exe test.pl
(its output attached as 'pp-vvv-result.txt')
Perl is 5.12.3 (strawberry)
(see attached perl-version.txt)
PAR::Packer is 1.010
Module::ScanDeps is 1.05
(see attached perldoc-perllocal.txt)
ends up in an approx. 12MB exe file including virtually
all modules that come with my perl distribution (strawberry perl
5.12.3) ;).
Omitting the 'use strict' pragma produces a binary of
reasonable size (couldn't yet test this on a machine without perl
installed).
The expected size should be around 2-2.5MB and I've verified, that
older releases of PAR [1.008] and ScanDeps [0.98] do indeed produce
quite smaller (working) binaries.
I conclude that this seems to be a 'weirdness' - or did I miss something
that may have changed (with regard to options to pp) in between?
Scanning the FAQ/maillist/bugreports doesn't give me any hints so far...
Thankyou!
cheers,
frank\
