If, as your question title suggest you want to make executables you should be installing PAR::Packer, so `ppm install http://www.bribes.org/perl/ppm/PAR-Packer.ppd` from the command line should get it for you. I have not used ppm version 4, but the instructions on how to use configure it are here if required. Hope this helps Martin	[reply] [d/l]

Yes, that was helpful. Looks like the PAR-0.980 and PAR-Packer0.980 are missing some pieces as when I installed the .977 of these modules pp now works. Thanks for the help.	[reply]

JoeP, No, nothing missing. Reading the documentation indicates that PAR::Packer was pulled out of PAR as a design decision. Cheers - L~R	[reply]
