'PL_memory_wrap' error when using PAR + 5.8.7

[Foo Ji-Haw <jh...@nexlabs.com>]

Hi all,

I wonder if you have the same problem as me when trying to use PAR to create a standalone .EXE program. I'm using the latest PAR with ActiveState perl 5.8.7.

When I try to run the .EXE program, a dialog box pops out and show m the 'PL_memory_wrap' error. I've just upgraded my Perl from 5.8.6 (which was error-free), so I don't know if it's to do with the PAR or the Perl base.

Any experience on this matter is appreciated. Thanks.

There's a par mailing list that would probably
be more appropriate to ask on - see http://lists.perl.org/ 
for subscription details. This problem does arise with
mod_perl ppm packages, though - for example, it occurs
if one makes up a ppm package with, eg, perl-5.8.7, and
tries to use it on, eg, perl-5.8.3. The solution
is to make up the ppm package with perl-5.8.0, which
should be binary compatible with any perl in the 5.8.x
series.
