Can you describe to us a little about your program? Apparently, it must have a GUI, if you think you needed TK. Perhaps you should look at Win32::GUI instead of Tk? Anyways, I have written some apps in PerlTK on Win32, used PerlApp to convert it to EXE and really haven't had any problems with it. The size of the EXE's really aren't *that* big. What would you consider too big?

I still haven't run into any real problems with Tk and exe's. What problems have you heard? I read up on the threads previously mentioned above and don't see any issues there either.

In any the case, I just wouldn't rule it out. The principle I follow is to program for the user base you will be distributing too. If the majority of users will not have Perl on their systems, then convert to EXE. If it is for your local company, and not many machines, stick with perl script. Anywhere in between, just think about your decision carefully. :-)

Good luck.
