Re^5: PAR pp Windows 2 instances

PerlApp is still available. But it costs some "big bucks" to get it.

It works great but it is only available to large companies due to the cost.

This is what I pay for maintenance for a product which is no longer available for sale.

MAINT:PDK:AUTO    Product Upgrades and Support for Perl Dev Kit - Auto
+matic Renewal    1    $87.00 USD    $87.00 USD
Subtotal:    $87.00 USD
Total Receipt Amount:    $87.00 USD
[download]

I only use this SW for non-commercial purposes.
I am retired now.
It is likely that I will cancel this $87/year fee.

It doesn't seem to be available for new clients, no matter the size and the money...	[reply]

You'd have to look carefully at the fine print. I think it comes standard with the business licenses, but you are talking $1,500/yr/seat. Update: Well, I found https://community.activestate.com/faq/finalversionpairingsPDK. This appears to be bad news for me. Evidently my PDK license is now worthless!!. Active State says: Existing copies of PDK 9.5.1 cannot use the latest releases of ActivePerl. That's a bummer because I don't have a Business Edition License to enable access any prior releases (Free AS download limit is: current release and one release before that). So: Active State PDK (Perl Dev Kit) is officially a "dead duck". Glad this subject came up because I was/am paying for something that is now worthless to me. It is a bummer to learn that, but this info appears to be absolutely correct. I guess I'm gonna need to learn how to work open source pp if I need to make a .exe in the future. Right now my users are running my Perl source code but, they are "sophisticated users" who can even install modules on their own and who perhaps don't even use Active State Perl at all. Compiling a GUI based application into an .exe allowed me to distribute a program to "computer illiterates" and I didn't have to worry whether they had Perl installed at all (and most didn't).

I can assure you: I moved from PerlApp to PAR/pp to bundle a quite complex and big application. And it works just fine.	[reply]
