Here is PAR 0.81, the "not to be stopped by showstoppers" release,
freshly uploaded to CPAN:
http://aut.dyndns.org/dist/PAR-0.81.tar.gz
MD5 (PAR-0.81.tar.gz) = 3ad86935815ee7b56bcd78b10e7cfcbf
Pre-built Win32 binaries may be downloaded from CPAN and
http://aut.dyndns.org/par/. If you downloaded the ".par" files manually,
you will need to download and unpack PAR-0.81.tar.gz, put the prebuilt .par
file inside the unpacked PAR-0.81 directory, then type "perl Makefile.PL".
I'd have to apologize to Edward Peschko because I still did not get
around to put OOified "pp" to this release, due to the high (and serious)
concentration of showstopping bugs left in 0.80. As a result, 0.81 became
a "bugfix, porting and maintainence only" release, and all feature
developments will begin at 0.82, now all the showstoppers have been resolved.
...hmm, famous last words? ;-)
[Changes for 0.81 - May 23, 2004]
* New Features
- Regained support for Win9x, Cygwin and MinGW.
- PAR now supports 64-bit platforms, such as Tru64 and AIX.
- Cygwin and MinGW can now build EXEs with icons, too; MinGW can update
the icons, but Cygwin cannot.
- Newly supported modules: Pod::Usage, DBIx::SearchBuilder,
DBIx::ReportBuilder, SVK::Command, SVN::Core, and the ':encoding()'
IO discipline.
* Bug fixes
- On non-Win32 systems, invoking pp-generated executable from PATH
did not work.
- Standalone executables were clobbered by existing perl environments
with an identical "auto/IO" libpath as the author's environment.
- Standalone executables did not work on systems with an unset
dynamic load path environment variable (eg. LD_LIBRARY_PATH).
- "pp -p -o multi.par 1.pl 2.pl; parl multi.par 1.pl" now works.
- $ENV{PATH} and $ENV{TEMP} were truncated at first path delimiter.
- "pp -f Bleach" did not work for ActivePerl on Win32.
- Windows 9x systems were generating invalid cache directory names.
- $ENV{path} is also recognized as $ENV{PATH} for Win32.
Thanks,
