Hi List

I need to run some applications written entirely in perl in some systems
where I dont have an access. Other people run this applications. Now the
problem is that when they find any error they always open the source and
edited it which makes things more worse.So I compiled the source using *perl
-Mo=Bytecode ........* . But It has several drawbacks I often gets
segmentation fault error while running the applications on the target
machines, which is very difficult to rectify. Another thing is that
B::Bytecode was removed from 5.10, because it is buggy, experimental code
that should not be used. So I found PAR::Packer and I have installed it
successfully in my testing machine.
Now I have some question related to PAR::Packer.

Is it possible to archiving the code using pp in my source machine and run
that code successfully in the target machine which don't have the
PAR::Packer module installed (and I should not be allowed to install
PAR::Packer on target machines)

Is it possible that I archived the source package in a linux machine and
run it successfully in the target machines which can be Solaris,AIX, or
HP-UX?

Thanks & Regards
Anirban Adhikary.

What par does is basically packs the required files or modules in a single
file. So when you can use the packed file independently (as the requirements
are already contained in file).
Say for e.g.
If you make binary than it is possible provided that the target machine
supports that binary. Refer
http://search.cpan.org/~smueller/PAR-0.992/lib/PAR/Tutorial.pod for more
details.


This depends on your source package. Refer 'Cross-platform Packages' from
above link.

Hope this helps.

Thanks & Regards,
