Re: Running pp from inside a perl script/PAR generated executable

Thanks for the feedback.  Good thought.  Gave it a try and it looks like
PAR is not packaging everything it needs when I pp "pp".  The error I get
is "cant locate Heavy.pm".  I'm going to keep experimenting with this to
see if I can get it grab everything it needs.

Cheers,

Dan
