PAR::Packer Installation; Prototype mismatch; libperl.so: File format not recognized; ActivePerl-5.14.2.1402-x86

Gary Yang has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

I downloaded PAR-Packer-1.012.tar.gz. I got errors below when I install it.

Prototype mismatch: sub main::prompt: none vs ($;$) at /opt/ActivePerl-5.14/site/lib/ExtUtils/MakeMaker.pm line 219 objdump: /opt/ActivePerl-5.14/lib/CORE/libperl.so: File format not recognized

Here is the detailed info:

/tmp/PAR-Packer-1.012> perl Makefile.PL
Checking if your kit is complete...
Looks good

I downloaded ActivePerl-5.14.2.1402-x86_64-linux-glibc-2.3.5-295342.tar.gz. Per installation instruction, I installed it with the command, "sh install.sh". I took all the default options. This is binary installation.
I have no idea why got this error when I install PAR-Packer-1.012.tar.gz. Can someone please help?

The ExtUtils::MakeMaker version is 6.62
cpan> install ExtUtils::MakeMaker
ExtUtils::MakeMaker is up to date (6.62).

It looks like you are on some sort of Linux OS, so why are you using Active-Perl?	[reply]

Thanks for pointing out the problem. I tried installing it with perl versions 5.8.8, 5.10.1, 5.12, 5.14.1, and also ActivePerl-5.12, and ActivePerl-5.14. Each one complained about a private /tmp/par-root; so, in order to install it, you'll need to remove /tmp/par-root first. I'm on Fedora, so I did `mv /tmp/par-root /root/Desktop right-click "Move to Trash" Empty Trash export PERL_TEST_POD=1` [download] and you're good to go.	[reply] [d/l]

Can someone please help? All I can say (from win32 land) is don't hesitate, report upstream immediately, and try the 32big perl if that is possible	[reply]
