I initially installed and used PAR on AIX 5.2 and AIX 5.3 without problems. Recently, I decided to make use of PAR::Filter::Bleach and PAR::Filter::Squish, and used CPAN to autoinstall all the dependencies. I now run into trouble when I even try a simple command:

pp -o myprog.exe myprog.pl
 is only avaliable with the XS version at /usr/opt/perl5/lib/site_perl
+/5.8.2/Compress/Zlib.pm line 9

BTW, line 9 of Zlib.pm reads: "use Scalar::Util qw(dualvar);" and Scalar::Util is installed.

In fact, I had to manually compile & install Scalar::Util using the fix described here, but the above error persists even though the module installed successfully.

Any insights into getting around this would be appreciated!
