I wanted to build an awesome place for people to discuss module specific issues, but I don't have any more time for this, and there are much better places to discuss Perl-related issues. I'd recommend asking your question on Stack Overflow or on Perl Monks.
If you are looking for a Perl tutorial or Perl-related news, I hope these links will serve you well.

Compiling Par Packer on AIx systems
Hi, i've read a lot a post on the same thing but i still dont have any solution for the moment. I'm trying to install PP on an Aix system without any internet connexion. All the prerequisites have been install but i'm still have a problem when trying to connect to cpan and find a compiler. This is the ouput:
root@sysnim: /tmp/ocs/PAR-Packer-1.012>perl Makefile.PL Fetching 'PAR-Packer-1.012-aix-thread-multi-5.10.1.par' from www.cpan.org... Fetching failed: No compiler found, won't generate 'script/parl'! Checking if your kit is complete... Looks good Writing Makefile for PAR::Packer
Is there any solution to bypass the access to cpan and have a full built install of PP with parl ? Regards

Forget that (there are no prebuilt PP "packages" for the current version of PAR::Packer and AIX on CPAN).

> No compiler found, won't generate 'script/parl'

That's the real problem: you need a working C compiler on your machine to build PAR::Packer. Preferrably the same compiler your installation of perl was built with (you can find out by examining the output of "perl -V"). If you do have a C compiler installed, make sure that it's in your PATH.

Re: Compiling Par Packer on AIx systems
Thanks for this answer this helped I was using a perl version compiled with the native aix compiler i didn't have. I used a perl version i compiled with gcc but now i have a new problem. May be a tool old perl version ?

That's only a warning. Ignore it.

Re: Compiling Par Packer on AIx systems
I don't have access to an AIX system and can't help you here.

As recommended earlier, please post your problem to the PAR mailing list where others might be able to assist.
