in thread I prefer not to run the latest version of Perl because:

I’ve tried “pp” and it did not produce a working executable. I use a number of Tk modules and other assorted modules and it became increasingly frustrating trying to mail down the culprit. “perl2exe” pretty much just works right out of the box, which leaves me free to concentrate on the programming projects at hand.

    If you haven't tried it already, and have feel like revisiting the pp method pp_simple may be of interest.

      Thanks for the suggestion, but pp_simple does not exist on my machine. The "pp" utility exists as "C:\Strawberry\perl\site\bin\pp.bat", but there is no pp_simple. I am running Strawberry Perl 5.24.1 on Windows 10. Is pp_simple part of Strawberry Perl, and if so where is it located?
