Re^4: Par::Packer, include conf files or not ?

[HJO]

"but if you can't install pp how to you expect to use it to develop and test your application in it's packaged form?"

I understand your point, and I'm working on that part of the problem.

"of course a package generated by pp can read files external to it"

That's what I needed to know, thanks. It wasn't obvious for me, I thought that the script was "converted" or so and was asking myself if the result will still be able to process some external files

"since you're going to delopy to many servers which you may not have control over, do you think it's wise?"

I think I'm going to follow my first though that you confirmed, I will include every single file in my package.

"That said, had you a working pp installed you'd be able to test this for yourself."

Yes, I know that and I'm going to try to install it properly to make my tests... If that doesn't work out well, I'll probably post something else in a few days... Anyway thank you for your answers

Out of curiosity, how are you trying to install pp? On MS Windows (using Strawberry Perl), Linux and Solaris the following command works without problems:

cpan pp

I used basically the same, but then I got a lot of dependencies and one of them got make install errors (Compress::Raw::Zlib) :

And every one of the make test of the others modules had errors(related to the absence of Compress::Raw::Zlib.pm) So in the end, when the "installation" finished, I typed pp -h and got :

Does the system you're running on have gcc installed?
