I get the following error:
Can't load '...\AppData\Local\Temp\par-6e72616f\cache-20221205133501\5743946b.xs.dll' for module GD:
load_file:
The specified module could not be found at <embedded>/DynaLoader.pm line 193.
at <embedded>/PAR/Heavy.pm line 140.
(Line breaks added for readability.)
Here is the file t2.pl:
use GD;
Here is the command to convert it to an exe (I use a batch file that timestamps it):
pp -T 20221205133501 -o t2_20221205133501.exe t2.pl
On my laptop, the exe works, but on a barebones Citrix environment it fails.
My environment:
Strawberry Perl v5.32.1 built for MSWin32-x86-multi-thread-64int
GD v2.73
I know the file is simple, but that one line is enough to cause the crash.
The file it complains about exists and is located where it is looking.
I have looked and is looks like I need to add -m GD, or -l xxx to make it work. I tried adding all the dll files I could find for GD, but failed.
I have a corporate environment so I can't really use anything that depends on external programs not in Windows 10. pp_simple depends on wxpar which I do not have. I have used:
objdump -x C:\Strawberry\perl\vendor\lib\auto\GD\GD.xs.dll | find "DLL"
which got me a list of DLLs, and I did try using them with -l.
From Re: Par with strawberry-Perl
There are likely missing DLLs that need to be added to the pp call
using the --link option.
Finding these manually can be a pain, so have a look at pp_autolink or
pp_simple (the former is mine, but adapted from the latter).

I call the program myfoo.pl, my first line is #!/usr/bin/perl.
When run from command line myfoo.pl I get command not found.
again when run using perl myfoo.pl it runs and completes. Not all my perl programs have this problem some run just using (path)/source.pl I ran head -1 myfoo.pl and got a print of my first line. no indication of problems.
Looking at the limited information you gave, I would say you are probably missing permission executable on the file myfoo.pl. To which the solution is to do
chmod +x myfoo.pl
It could also be a path to binary problem, that the perl binary is not located in /usr/bin/perl. In which case you need to figure out where it is, with which perl or where perl.
I suppose it could also be that the file myfoo.pl is not in your current directory, which it needs to be. Because of path settings, you also may have to execute it with
$ ./myfoo.pl
Because . is part of your path variable.
It is impossible to say for sure, because you are not answering questions, however. So when you eventually get around to answering questions, we may have more answers.
The dexy documentation states than any language may be used. The tutorial use the py filter to run Python file, but I didn't find any filter to run Perl file.
I try to execute a very simple Perl file
I've tried to use the bash or sh filter, but with no luck, and didn't find any execute-or-like filter.
Am I missing something obvious ?
Ok, here are the different solutions I found about this.
1. A perl filter now exist
Ok, Ana is the owner of this project and is very reactive. I asked her the question about dexy and perl on IRC, and tada ! Less than 1 hour later, there was a commit on the repository with perl support.
So, if you just get latest version and install it this way :
git clone https://github.com/dexy/dexy
cd dexy
sudo pip install -e .
You should have a perl filter.
If you want to pass arguments to a script, just use the scriptargs setting.
2. Use a bash script
Another very simple solution is to embed the launch of a perl script into a sh/bash script, and use the sh/shint/bash filter that already exist.
3. Use bash script without additional files
If you fear that the latest solution will makes you add a lot of tiny scripts in your directories, you may use the contents feature of dexy. That way, the required one-liners are defined in dexy.yaml only.
Something like :
- shell-myscript.sh|sh:
- contents: "perl ./perl/myscript.pl --any-parameter"
- perl/myscript.pl
is doing the job just fine for me.
I want to profile my Perl code by using Devel::DProf.
when I am running the profiler like
perl5.8 -d:DProf abc.pl # default version of Perl in my PC (Solaris) is 5.003
then it produces the tmon.out file in the current directory, but when I run
dprofpp
then it is not undertanding the command and giving error like command not found.
I know Devel::DProf - a DEPRECATED Perl code profiler, and should use Devel::NYTProf but just want to know why it is giving such an error, may be I am missing something.
How can I solve this?
Find out where you installed dprofpp and ensure that the directory is in your PATH, or call it with the full path.
I'm trying to circumvent using MEX to link to MATLAB and just call a binary using "!" as in:
>> !template_image_rigid -args ....
template_image_rigid: /opt/MatlabR2010a/sys/os/glnxa64/libstdc++.so.6: version `GLIBCXX_3.4.11' not found (required by /usr/lib/libboost_program_options.so.1.40.0)
template_image_rigid: /opt/MatlabR2010a/sys/os/glnxa64/libstdc++.so.6: version `GLIBCXX_3.4.11' not found (required by /usr/lib/libdirac_encoder.so.0)
Is there a way to easily fix this dynamic link issue from within MATLAB? I know I can recompile the source with MATLAB and use a MEX call, but since it takes a while to run the solver I just want to run it as shell command and import text data later into MATLAB.
If it helps, the source & CMakeLists.txt can be found here: https://github.com/pkarasev3/nlmagick/tree/master/samples
Grr, community = fail.
Diagnoising: do !gnome-terminal from within matlab and look at "env":
env | grep Matlab
which gives
XKEYSYMDB=/opt/MatlabR2010a/X11/app-defaults/XKeysymDB
MATLABPATH=/opt/MatlabR2010a/toolbox/local
XAPPLRESDIR=/opt/MatlabR2010a/X11/app-defaults

MATLAB=/opt/MatlabR2010a
Ok so the LD_LIBRARY_PATH is bad.
Trick: write a poltergeist script and run it from gnome-terminal, Launch it from Matlab with:
!./hack.sh RunStuffThatLinksElsewhere
where hack.sh is a script with something like:
#!/bin/bash
source ~/.bashrc
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=''
gnome-terminal --command="${1}"
so an easy test is to try it with "eog", this hack gets around the link issue and lets you run it from within matlab...
Simpler:
setenv('foo',num2str(some_value) )
!LD_LIBRARY_PATH="" && ./my_binary -f $foo
disp('done with external program!')
I solved this problem by replacing the version of libstdc++.so.6 with a newer version from my system (I use ubuntu 12.04).
First find the system version of libstdc++.so.6.
From the command line type:
locate libstdc++.so.6
My system version of libstdc was
/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libstdc++.so.6
Then replace the matlab libstdc version with a link to the system libstdc.
From the command line type (replace [....] with you settings):
cd [matlab_dir]/sys/os/glnx86
mv libstdc++.so.6 libstdc++.so.6-OLD
ln -s [your_system_version_of_libstdc] libstdc++.so.6
I recently ran into the same problem. My solution also uses a poltergeist script like other answers. The script is as follows (poltergeist.sh):
#!/bin/bash
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=''
eval "$#"
It basically resets the library path and subsequently evaluates the call given by the arguments to the script. From within matlab I then call in this manner:
system([pwd,'/poltergeist.sh echo hello world!']);
The advantage to this approach is that you can dynamically modify the call command within matlab. As far as I know this is not possible using the bang syntax in the currently provided answers.
Doesn't work with other modules, but to give an example. I installed Text::CSV_XS with a CPAN setting:
'makepl_arg' => q[PREFIX=~/lib],
When I try running a test.pl script:
$ perl test.pl
#!/usr/bin/perl
use lib "/homes/foobar/lib/lib64/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8/x86_64-linux-thread-multi";
use Text::CSV_XS;
print "test";
I get
Can't load '/homes/foobar/lib/lib64/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8/x86_64-linux-thread-multi/auto/Text/CSV_XS/CSV_XS.so' for module Text::CSV_XS: /homes/foobar/lib/lib64/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8/x86_64-linux-thread-multi/auto/Text/CSV_XS/CSV_XS.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory at /www/common/perl/lib/5.8.2/i686-linux/DynaLoader.pm line 229.

I traced the error back to DynaLoader.pm it happens at this line:
# Many dynamic extension loading problems will appear to come from
# this section of code: XYZ failed at line 123 of DynaLoader.pm.
# Often these errors are actually occurring in the initialisation

# it executed.
my $libref = dl_load_file($file, $module->dl_load_flags) or
croak("Can't load '$file' for module $module: ".dl_error());
CSV_XS.so exists in the above directory
When you installed the module, did you watch the output? Where did it say it installed the module? Look in lib. Do you see the next directory you expect?
Look in ~/lib to see where eveything ended up to verify that you have the right directory name in your use lib statement:
% find ~/lib -name CSV_XS.so
Once you see where it is installed, use that directory name in your use lib (or PERL5LIB or whatever).
I expect you have a lib/lib in there somehow. The PREFIX is just the, well, prefix, and the installer appends other directory portions to that base path. That includes lib, man, bin, etc.
Personally I would suggest to use local::lib. :)
Try this instead:
'makepl_arg' => q[PREFIX=~/]
PREFIX sets the base for all the directories you will be installing into (bin, lib, and so forth.)
You may also be running into shell expansion problems with your '~'. You can try to expand it yourself:
'makepl_arg' => q[PREFIX=/home/users/foobar]
It would also be helpful if you included the commands you used to get the error you are asking about.
It looks from the error message ("at /www/common ...") that your script is a CGI or mod_perl script. The web server is probably not running as the user 'foo', under whose home directory you've installed the module - that could result in the web server being unable to read that directory.
It may also be running in a "chroot jail", which would mean that the directory in which you've installed the module may not be visible to the script.
In other words, just because you can see the module, does not mean that the web server, and therefore your script, can do so. You should check the relevant file permissions, and if the server is chrooted, whether your module directory is mounted within the virtual file system.
Does the file in question (CSV_XS.so) exist?
Does it exist at the listed location?
If you do:
set |grep PERL
What is the output?
Have you successfully installed other local perl modules?
I strongly suggest installing your own perl in your own home directory, if you have space. Then you can keep everything under your control and keep your own module set, as well as escaping if the admins are keeping you on an older version of perl. (Not to mention preserving yourself if they upgrade some day and leave out all the modules you are relying on.)
