If you look into the directory you used to "nmake test" when installing PAR, you will
find a contrib directory somewhere underneath. Somewhere under there you will find a
file called automated_pp_test.pl that has a multitude of tests. I believe the small -a
and large -A tests are made for what you want to do. You will find tests entitled

sub pp_test_small_minus_a {
sub pp_test_large_minus_A {

I believe the explaination blocks in the file are up to date. You can also use
perl -d (debugger) and step through the actual test code.

Good luck.

• Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
• Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:

  <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>

• Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
• Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
