Invalid type 'Q' & perl2exe

[dave82]

Hi all.

I'm trying to convert a .pl script into executable trough "perl2exe" (SonOS and Linux platforms).
The script is perfectly working if ran as .pl.
If I try to run the output generated executable I get the following error:

Invalid type 'Q' in pack at PERL2EXE_STORAGE/Config.pm line 87.
Compilation failed in require at PERL2EXE_STORAGE/File/Copy.pm line 15.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at PERL2EXE_STORAGE/File/Copy.pm line 15.

Compilation failed in require at /home/ccase/sepg/ccset_env_custom_choice line 9.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at /home/ccase/sepg/ccset_env_custom_choice line 9.

perl -V output is:

I got the same error on Linux64 host.

Any suggestion?

Many thanks

Q An unsigned quad value.
(Quads are available only if your system supports 64-bit
integer values _and_ if Perl has been compiled to support those.
Causes a fatal error otherwise.)

Admittedly this is from the ActiveState 5.10 windows interpreted version doc, but it does indicate that this is a bit of a dodgy area. Compiling it probably isn't going to make it any better.

Hi.

Thanks for your reply.

Perl seems to be compliant.
Performing:
(vobadm@agrus082) .../ccase/sepg> perl -e 'print unpack("Q", pack("Q", 2**38)),"\n";'
274877906944


everything seems to be ok.

Yes, but it doesn't matter if regular interpreted perl can handle it on your box. PERL2EXE is a compiler, so it's a different code base. And it doesn't seem to like it...
