Can't compile (perlcc) both Net::FTP and Config::IniFiles at thesame time

[Thomas Watson Steen]

I am using Cygwin on a Windows XP box. I'm running perlcc from the
Cygwin shell. I am using perl v5.8.5 built for
cygwin-thread-multi-64int. The command I am executing to compile is
"perlcc -o tst.exe tst.pl".

When trying to compile a perl file only containing the following two use
statements the compiler (perlcc) just runs for what seems forever
(filling up huge amounts of memory):

use Net::FTP;
use Config::IniFiles;

When compiling a file the only contains one of the above use statements
the compile completes sucessfully.

Any ideas on how to get arround this?

Notice the documentation for perlcc says:

The code generated in this way is not guaranteed to work. The whole
codegen suite ("perlcc" included) should be considered very
experimen-
tal. Use for production purposes is strongly discouraged.

Yes - use the PAR module's pp utility instead of perlcc.

Thank you. I'll try pp instead. For the moment I have some problems
doing a make test on pp though, but I hope I can around that one with
some further reseach

Thnx again

There's a PAR mailing list - which is an excellent source of help (if
you need it). See http://lists.perl.org for details.
