YB_Zhuang has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hi there, I am trying to use perl PAR module to create a standalone perl app. It turns out, the app works only on my own computer where it creates. when it is copied to other computers, it can not be executed. Any suggestion is appreciated! Thanks guys!

    From the PAR module documentation: "If you want to make an executable that contains all module, scripts and data files, please consult the pp utility instead. pp used to be part of the PAR distribution but is now shipped as part of the PAR::Packer distribution instead."

    As learned recently you can also use CitrusPerl to pack your executables. Even if i have not tested yet Citrus Perl seems a good choice and has not the very-slow-first-time-run problem of pp (this is because pp create an archive and the first time it has to be extracted, possibly with the whole Perl release embedded)

    update: to create standalone executables you can also use cava packager by same authors of citrusperl.
