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

Hi PerlMonks, I have a few perl scripts that I want to turn into a command line program that others can downlaod and use. I'm familiar with command line arguments etc. Also I know of scrum and agile, which its what I'm looking for either. The blanks that I am currently having is what is need to transition this code to an executable. How does the installation of subroutines work? how should I structure my code collection? Your help is much appreciated.

    Maybe what the OP is looking for is Par::Packer?
    Or perhaps if he is using Active State Perl, he could try out the Perl Dev Kit (perlapp).

    Hope this helps :)

    EDIT: Nevermind, I have GOT to start reading all the way to the end of the question LOL!
    You should check out the perl dev kit anyways :p It is easy to work with and will do /most/ of the work for you.

    Welcome to the Monastery!

    Your post doesn't make much sense. Give a couple examples of what you have, and let's go from there.

    Scrum and Agile refer to group coding practices, not releasing an executable.

    There is nothing to compile explicitly. Perl reads, compiles, runs the code read (mostly) from a file.

    Read about modules, packages, distributions in perldoc (also perlfaq3, perlfaq7, perlmodlib, etc.) and elsewhere about how to organize your code.

    Thanks for the replies. I think par packer or pp is what I am after.
