What do you mean by "compiling"? Perl's compiler is part of the interpreter, simply running a script first compiles it and then runs it (and sometimes switches between the two phases to and fro). Makefile.PL and Build.PL are used to install modules, sometimes compilation could be ivolved (but it's usually XS, i.e. C, that's being compiled). What exactly are you doing? What are you trying to achieve? لսႽ† ᥲᥒ⚪⟊Ⴙᘓᖇ Ꮅᘓᖇ⎱ Ⴙᥲ𝇋ƙᘓᖇ	[reply]

I "really" mean to "compile" perl scripts (making a .exe out of a .pl). Reason: I have some scripts to distribute to other PC's in our company, but I am not allowed to install perl on those maschines. That's why I need an .exe. Padre (IDE) offers a menu entry "compile", but clicking on that entry results in the described error. Does nobody uses this feature?	[reply]

You want to package them, not compile them. pp, PAR etc..	[reply]

Padre (IDE) offers a menu entry "compile", I don't see that option anywhere, what version of padre do you have? Where do you see that option (under what menu)?	[reply]
