update one file without par?

[Robert Davis]

Is there anyway to update just one .pl file without par.
I want to update just my main script file.
I don't want to download strawberry perl and all of the packages I need.
I tried with zip from cygwin
zip http2vm scripts/http2vm.pl
I tried with 7zip for windows.
added zip file

Both of them changed the file so I get this when I execute the par file.

***@USPONRDAVIS1/c/scripts$ http2vm.exe
Usage: C:\scripts\http2vm.exe [ -Alib.par ] [ -Idir ] [ -Mmodule ] [
src.par ] [ program.pl ]
C:\scripts\http2vm.exe [ -B|-b ] [-Ooutfile] src.par

Instead of the usage information that is in my script file.
So I guess it is resetting the execute part of the zip file.

I have a vm image from my last laptop(at work, at home right now). But I
am afraid that it was the laptop before that laptop.
I'll find out monday.

thanks

Yup. Its looking like I need to do that.
Its a different machine from work and I haven't updated all the tools necessary to rebuild par files.

I keep a vm image on a portable drive for just this purpose

Got my program working with cygwin.

Any opinions as to whether I should install strawberry perl 64 or 32.
Will 64 have more errors when I run pp?
Will some modules not work?

thanks

How is it broken?

If you EVER do any work with serial ports use 32 bit
Win32::SerialPort is completely *not* 64 bit compatible and is broken
in a very non obvious way

I use 'lastlook', 'lookfor', and 'write' from that module.  Besides the 'wait for input' issue, is there anything else wrong with it?

I suspect the bitmask constants don’t know about 64 bit

So, for instance, when you do a ‘wait for input’ it returns immediately

It’s basically useless on 64 bit

‘Wictor Wictor two' - surely ;-)
