in reply to how to get an exe-file from a Perl-script for Windows

You want pp, they split this out of PAR into PAR::Packer some time ago. To install:

cpan pp

or better yet

cpanm pp

[download]

Basic usage:

pp -x -o exename.exe scriptname.pl

[download]

See also ppsimple.

    Are you sure? Both links lead to the same distribution...

    map{substr$_->[0],$_->[1]||0,1}[\*||{},3],[[]],[ref qr-1,-,-1],[{}],[sub{}^*ARGV,3]

      Sorry, that should have been a link to PAR.

    Hello again,

    I've tried but failed:

    Failed 14/17 test programs. 15/52 subtests failed.
gmake: *** Makefile:972: test_dynamic Error 25

    But thanks nonetheless. best regards
