# $File: //member/autrijus/PAR/README $ $Author: autrijus $ # $Revision: #3 $ $Change: 1541 $ $DateTime: 2002/10/19 15:17:50 $ This is the README file for PAR, a module to use perl scripts and modules stored inside compressed .par files. Please see the PAR.pm for typical uses, and script/par.pl for a solution of bundled perl distributions (aka PerlApp or Perl2exe). * Installation PAR uses the standard perl module install process: cpansign -v # see SIGNATURE for details perl Makefile.PL make make test make install After installation, if you want to enable stand-alone binary support, please apply the included patch to the B::C module first (5.8.0 only, 5.6.1 does not need this): % patch `perl -MB::C -e'print $INC{"B/C.pm"}'` < patches/perl580.diff and then: % perlcc -o /usr/local/bin/par script/par.pl Afterwards, you can generate self-executable PAR files by: # put a main.pl inside myapp.par to run it automatically % par -O./myapp myapp.par * Copyright Copyright 2002 by Autrijus Tang .
