Re: Re: Self Extracting Perl Archive 0.4

I would venture a guess, that maybe for the same reason you should use par, so the question becomes why should you use this rather than par :)?

I'm not really trying to do the same thing as PAR. I'm shooting for something that can be used as a software installation utility, amongst other things. If anything, I'm trying to write something like makeself in Perl. A genius writes code an idiot can understand, while an idiot writes code the compiler can't understand.	[reply]

Yes you are. Maybe you didn't click the links, but there are two things called par. One is PAR, the other is par. You're reinventing par (or ppm, however you want to loook at it).	[reply]
