Re: Why behaviour changes after converting to exe

[reneeb]

the en_US.pm file is part of the DateTime::Locale distribution. Try to add the module to the PAR archive manually:

pp -M DateTime::Locale -o script.exe script.pl

[syphilis]

pp -M DateTime::Locale -o script.exe script.pl

That doesn't work for me ... close, but not quite. I found I had to specifically load DateTime::Locale::en_US:

pp -M DateTime::Locale::en_US -o script.exe script.pl

Hi syphilis,

That worked fine for me.Thanks a lot.But I am assigning some values to that by creating an object,see the code below,

#!/bin/perl-w 
    use DateTime;
        
                my $runtime = DateTime->new(
                    year   => 2006,
                    month  => 07,
                    day    => 31,
                    hour   => 9,
                    minute => 54,
                    #time_zone => "America/Los_Angeles",
                    time_zone => "Indian/Christmas",
          );

          print"Runtime=> $runtime\n";

When I run the above code by using .pl file it is working.But when i convert it to exe by using pp -M DateTime::Locale::en_US -o perdate.exe perdate.pl it is not working and showing the meesage,

C:\Perl\bin>perdate.exe
The timezone 'Indian/Christmas' could not be loaded, or is an invalid 
+name.

But that timezone is already found and working fine for .pl file.Could you suggest why?? and help me to solve this.

Because you need to preload the appropriate DateTime::TimeZone in the same way as you did for the DateTime::Locale.

Perhaps you should actually read the pp documentation.

[syphilis]

pp -M DateTime::Locale::en_US -o perdate.exe perdate.pl

Did you work it out from the advice provided by gellyfish:
pp -M DateTime::Locale::en_US -M DateTime::TimeZone::Indian::Christmas -o perdate.exe perdate.pl
