Have you looked at the `-x` option in pp?	[reply] [d/l]

# pp -x test /usr/local/bin/pp: Binary 'test' sure doesn't smell like perl source! Can't locate object method "maybe_command" via package "MM" (perhaps you forgot to load "MM"?) at /usr/local/share/perl5/PAR/Packer. pm line 1561.	[reply]

Have you read the error message? Have you read the documentation for the `pp` command I linked to? Why did you leave out the `-o` option?	[reply] [d/l] [select]

As per the documentation, pp runs against the perl source, not the package it creates. `pp -x test.pl`	[reply] [d/l]

Do `ls -ltr` or `dir /od` (depending on which OS you're using), you should see the appropriate files/directories created such as `lib` and so on. If in doubt create a temporary directory, copy test into it and unzip again, then list the contents of the directory.	[reply] [d/l] [select]

`unzip test` creates the following: MANIFEST META.yml /script/main.pl /script/test.pl	[reply] [d/l]

It would be wise to read and understand pp, PAR::FAQ and PAR::Tutorial. If you still have problems, if possible post the code in question.	[reply]

What difference does it make? Does the generated (by pp -x -o test test.pl ?) ./test run successfully ? You might want to try one of the diagnostical tips from http://cpansearch.perl.org/src/RSCHUPP/PAR-Packer-1.013/contrib/docs/who_am_i.txt	[reply]
