Hello, Steffen. I apologize for the lack of detail... I installed several packages all through the CPAN.pm module. I did install the PAR::Packer and not just PAR, and am aware that pp is a separate package, but installed PAR just in case. CPAN went through and installed the dependencies required for PAR and pp. I have successfully installed other packages using CPAN.pm before (i.e. LWP), but none that create stand-alone programs such as the par packer.
I am using CPAN.pm v1.7601. It claims that pp is up-to-date and PAR are both up-to-date. I am unsure of the exact version number. I have repeated this on a separate mac, and run into the same issue: the installation process is straight-forward and successful using CPAN.pm, but typing "pp" at the command prompt yields "command not found". ________________________________ From: Steffen Mueller <[email protected]> To: Dan Welling <[email protected]> Cc: [email protected] Sent: Thursday, January 8, 2009 3:10:50 AM Subject: Re: Running pp in OS X Hi Dan, Dan Welling wrote: > I'm trying to use pp in os x, and am having issues at the lowest > level. > > I was able to install the package no problem using CPAN.

Did you install PAR::Packer? PAR doesn't come with pp. It says so at the VERY top of the documentation! Cheers, Steffen
