The PAR solution available is no argument for NOT using PerApp or perl2exe if it is just about being able to redistribute Perl software without Perl installation.
That's just another way. Also (slightly) more complex if you are used to download ActiveState Perl Install-executables and use PPM for module installation.

Yes it is. Why pay for perlapp/perl2exe when you get PAR for free?

Why use PAR when the company is willing to buy the Perl Dev Kit?
Why not use both? I will use PAR for scripts I write for other people. But for the company, I will use PerlApp since it is there.

i tried (hard) to install the PAR suite in my ActiveState Perl environment, with no luck.
perl2exe works out of box, and allows me to deploy standalone scripts (while i would not be allowed to install perl).
deploy, run, remove...
i'd gladly switch to PAR, but it never worked for me. | [reply] |
