Re: PAR/pp and missing modules: msg#00011

Hi,

I have a pp question. When I build a standalone .exe on a machine that has all the needed modules, they all get bundled correctly, and everything works. But if a needed module is not installed on the machine when pp is run to create the .exe, it seems that the module is silently omitted from the .exe. And then the .exe fails when executed, reporting the missing module at that point in time.

I expect PAR to only find the modules that Perl does. However, I wouldn't mind some warnings about missing modules. There are situations where one would check for a particular module in an eval block and then exit gracefully. This is especially useful for "plugin" style modules. PAR should definitely not fail if it can't find a module, but a warning would be very helpful.
