Hello! I'm not sure whether the problem I have encountered while using PAR::Packer on Mac OS 10.6 is a bug, but I could not find any related discussion / solution on the web, so I am referring it to you. The problems stands as follows: I have packaged a Perl script using PAR::Packer (v. *1.017*) on *Mac OS X (10.6), in Perlbrew - Perl 5.16.0.* Everything seems to work fine, except that when I try to open the new application I get the message "*You cannot open the application because the Classic environment is no longer supported*". Is the PAR::Packer using something that is specific of older MAC OS versions in which the Classic environment was used? Thanks a lot for the time taken to consider this issue!!! Best, Corina

Hi Corina, could you provide some more information: - the system that you "packed" your script runs OSX 10.6, right? - you tried to run the resulting executable on the same system? - why didn't you use the system Perl? - where did you get PAR::Packer from: - did you build it yourself on the OSX 10.6 machine? - using the same Perl as when you did the packing? - did you run the test suite and did it pass? - does the problem happen with a trivial script, e.g. $ pp -o hello.exe -e 'print "hello, world\n"' $ ./hello.exe Cheers, Roderich

Dear Roderich, Sorry for this late answer. Here is the additional information you've requested: *- the system that you "packed" your script runs OSX 10.6, right?* *YES* *- you tried to run the resulting executable on the same system?* *ON SEVERAL SYSTEMS: the error message is the same* * - why didn't you use the system Perl?* *I am testing a script that a friend has written and he has specifically asked that I use Perlbrew and Perl 5.16.0 * *- where did you get PAR::Packer from:* *I got it after having installed CPANM and then by typing "cpanm PAR::Packer " in the command line* * - did you build it yourself on the OSX 10.6 machine?* *All the automatic tests went fine*, so I guess it was successfully built. I must say that I have a fairly limited experience with Perl and am a beginner in programming. *- using the same Perl as when you did the packing?* *YES* * - did you run the test suite and did it pass?* *See above* * - does the problem happen with a trivial script, e.g.* *YES* Thank you for the time taken to consider this.
