Greetings!

xmltv.org thanks you for the module!=C2=A0 I was able to get our Windows =

xmltv distribution working under Par::Packer (migrating from perlapp).=C2=
=A0=20
Wasn't too hard, should have done it ages ago.

The one concern I have is the slow unpacking time.=C2=A0 Since it's only =
the=20
first run, I'd like to print a warning to users. Checking the mailing=20
list archives, this was discussed in CPAN ticket 8846, but no real=20
resolution.=C2=A0=C2=A0 I don't need a progress bar, just a first time me=
ssage run=20
that says "the first time it takes a while" :)

Is there any hook to do this?=C2=A0 I tried looking through the code, but=
=20
it's easy to get lost!

My generated xmltv.exe is "only"=C2=A0 26MB with 4480 files. :)
