in reply to WinXP: App wrapping, PAR, Mild "Security"

Can you give a bit more detail on what your application does? Without knowing what your application does, its hard to judge what's an appropriate solution. Is there a particular reason why you want to deploy your Perl application to install and run on every machine, instead of developing a centuralized, web based application, so your users only need a web browser to run?

    That's an interesting idea, but not trivial. The apps read and write XML files, the apps use OLE into MS Office apps, and some of the apps are take several minutes to run (browser would time out) etc.

    To webify them all, the team would have to build something like an old batch time sharing wrapper -- "upload data", "submit processing job", "retrieve data results and run log", etc.
