Re^2: Win32::Exe - Resource section creation fails

[Dirk80]

I use Microsoft Windows XP Professional Version 2002 Service Pack 3.

I think in my case it does not matter if it is gui or console because the creation of a resource section already seems to fail.

This code

use strict;
use warnings;

use Win32::Exe;
my $exe = Win32::Exe->new('test.exe');

$exe = $exe->create_resource_section if !$exe->has_resource_section;

produces this error:

No resource section found in file test.exe at C:/Perl/site/lib/Win32/E
+xe.pm line 348.

Cheers,

Dirk

Now I executed the test of Par::Packer

Here you can see the result:

But the problem seems to be in Win32::Exe and NOT in Par::Packer.

But the problem seems to be in Win32::Exe and NOT in Par::Packer

What version of Win32::Exe ? (I'm using 0.14, which seems to be fine.)

Btw, that's the same test failure as was reported on the PAR mailing list ... dunno what's going on ...

Cheers,

I'm also using Win32::Exe Version 0.14. But I installed it via ppm and NOT from cpan. But I think that this shouldn't make a difference.
