Windows and PAR::Packer

Inspired by this blog (which was linked from dasgar's post):

C:\TEMP> mkdir tmp
C:\TEMP> echo blah >> tmp\a.txt
C:\TEMP> echo blah blah >> tmp\a.txt
C:\TEMP> echo blah blah blah >> tmp\a.txt
C:\TEMP> pp -o hello.exe -a tmp -e "use File::Spec; BEGIN { if(exists 
+$ENV{PAR_TEMP}) { my $d = File::Spec->catfile($ENV{PAR_TEMP}, 'inc');
+ chdir
$d or die qq(chdir '$d' failed: $!); };  }; open my $fh, '<', 'tmp/a.t
+xt' or die qq(tmp/a.txt: $!); foreach (<$fh>) { print qq(a: $_); }"
C:\TEMP> cd ..
C:\> TEMP\hello.exe
a: blah
a: blah blah
a: blah blah blah

That's pretty cool. While testing that out, I was using both my "system" strawberry perl and my berrybrew perls, and discovered that I need to cpanm --force PAR::Packer, because of a compiler warning/error during one of the testing steps (of sha1.c). It installs and seems to work, but given the message

PAR::Packer quirks

• exe icon: aplonis:Re: Icon for pp on Strawberry ← pryrt:Re: Icon for pp on Strawberry ← swl:Re^2: How do I replace the camel icon on Windows exe built with pp? ← http://www.zewaren.net/site/?q=node/116
  I was able to get a local-lib style par-packer that I could use

      start cpanm -L .\locallib --look pp             &rem will put the 
  +`--look` shell in locallib mode
      copy some_other_icon.ico myldr\winres\pp.ico    &rem update the ic
  +on; won't necessarily show updated icon in Explorer.exe unless you ru
  +n SHChangeNotify†
      cpanm --notest .                                &rem from same she
  +ll, so inherits the locallib from `--look`
      exit                                            &rem leaves the `-
  +-look` shell

  then, if I do a batch wrapper which runs

      setlocal
      PATH=c:\path\to\locallib\bin;%PATH%
      set PERL5LIB=C:\path\to\locallib\lib\perl5
      pp -x -o out.exe in.pl
  [download]

  ... I can call the locallib version of pp with its customized icon, thus ensuring that my out.exe has the customized icon
  †: SHChangeNotify(SHCNE_ASSOCCHANGED,SHCNF_IDLIST,NULL,NULL) will normally refresh icons for Explorer.exe
• include all XS dlls: Very Odd Issue When Using pp to Create an .exe File Including Date::Calc -> pp -x -o out.exe in.pl
• include external DLLs: Re: PAR::Filter::Crypto Fails -> pp --link c:\path_to_strawberry\c\bin/zlib1__.dll -x -o out.exe in.pl
  can use Sysinternals Process Explorer's ^D to view the DLLs of a process: any that the .exe is grabbing from the perl hierarchy needs the --link included

Login With ...

After recent discussions of Mojolicious::Lite login examples (first steps with Mojolicious::Lite and RFC / Audit: Mojo Login Example), and some of my recent thoughts about LDAP, the Need help with AWS Cognito question caught my eye: I would love to see one of the example M::L apps updated to use Login with Google, Login With Facebook, and similar for other OAuth providers (preferrably multiple providers at once).

This medium.com:@thomashelstrom article shows how he did a quick login-with-Google, which might be a good starting point.

Post Re: LWP::Authen::OAuth2 terminology describes possible procedure for using LWP::Authen::OAuth2 to login with google or similar

Even better, I decided to search Mojo for "OAuth2" and found Mojolicious::Plugin::OAuth2, which is exactly what I was thinking about without having to re-invent the wheel.

FFI::Platypus

I had seen mention of FFI::Platypus before, but Re^2: Modernizing the Postmodern Language? had me take a quick look from a different perspective -- I had thought it was supposed to provide a way to access external libraries, but from the documentation I had linked before, I got too confused. This time, I was able to find an example of accessing kernel32.dll ... and with that, it might be possible to replace my monster amalgamation of Win32::API, Win32::GUI, and Win32::GuiTest -- though I might still want GuiTest separate during the module tests, because it's a pretty clean way for remote-controlling the GUI
