Hi, When I use perl packer to produce a binary version of any perl script, it does not launch from inetd. The binary may be launched from the command line just fine. The perl script itself may be launched from inetd just fine. Can anyone advise me on how to get this working? Any help would be appreciated.

My test perl script

#!/usr/bin/perl

BEGIN {
   open STDERR, ">>/portal/test.log";
}

use Data::Dumper;
use Getopt::Std;

printf STDERR "%s %s Hello World!\n", scalar localtime;

My inetd.conf entry

 
443 stream tcp nowait portal /portal/bin/testportal.pl

Perl packer usage

# pp --version
PAR Packager, version 1.008 (PAR version 1.002)
#pp -o testportal testportal.pl

If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
