Could not find ParserDetails.ini...

[Devon_Dan]

Hello.

I am having a bit of a problem using Perl2exe and was wondering if
anyone can throw some light on how to resolve it.

My script runs perfectly from the command line so I know it works.
However when I try perl2exe myscript.pl I get the following

Warning: Can't locate VMS/Stdio.pm
at D:\Perl\lib\File\Temp line 139
@INC D:\Perl\lib , d:\Perl\Site

From what I can see, the VMS::Stdio warning is only used on the VMS

platform and can be safely ignored. The .exe is still created but when
it is run, half way through execution I get this

could not find ParserDetails.ini in PERL_STORAGE/XML/SAX
can't locate object method 'new' via XML::SAX:urePerl at
PERL_STORAGE/XML/SAX/ParserFactory.pm line 43

A bit of hunting turned up this http://johnbokma.com/perl/installing-xml-sax.html
but having tried both fixes, the problem persists. Has anyone had this
problem before? Perhaps I am missing something blindingly obvious?

Thanks for your time

Dan

"Perl2exe" is the IndigoStar utility ... right ?
If so, it might be best to ask on a forum that deals with that utility
(assuming such exists).
If, otoh, "Perl2exe" is the ActiveState utility that ships with their PDK,
then you'd be best to ask about it on their PDK mailing list
(http://listserv.activestate.com/mailman/mysubs ) .

My script runs perfectly from the command line so I know it works.
However when I try perl2exe myscript.pl I get the following

Warning: Can't locate VMS/Stdio.pm
at D:\Perl\lib\File\Temp line 139

platform and can be safely ignored.

Seems likely to me, too

John's advice is usually sound. Does following his advice lead to the
creation of ParserDetails.ini ?
If so, did you then re-build the executable ? Did the problem then persist ?
If so, then perhaps perl2exe is failing to pack it into the executable. If
so, then perhaps you could package it, yourself, along with the
perl2exe-built executable. (I'm thinking that if ParserDetails.ini was to be
found in the same folder as the perl2exe-built executable, then things might
work .... but I have *no* idea whether it's *really* as simple as that

Have you tried the freely available PAR (with its pp utility) from CPAN ?
There's certainly good advice available regarding it on the PAR mailing list
( http://lists.cpan.org/ ).

Cheers,
Rob

Hi Rob,

Thanks for taking the time to respond. Its greatly appreciated.

There doesn't seem to be one. Most of the Perl2exe questions I can
find are here.

Does following his advice lead to the creation of ParserDetails.ini?

Yes it does, in D:\Perl\site\lib\XML\SAX but having recompiled the
exe, there I still get the same warning

could not find ParserDetails.ini in PERL_STORAGE/XML/SAX
can't locate object method 'new' via XML::SAX:urePerl at
PERL_STORAGE/XML/SAX/ParserFactory.pm line 43

If so, then perhaps you could package it yourself

Shall give it a go, and PAR. Thanks for the advice

Dan
