Any alternatives to perlcc?? Please

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

perlcc is appearently bugged out of it's mind when it comes to WinNT/2000...(it won't even compile anything, it just immediately says "can't compile code, which can't happen" and i don't know where to turn...does anybody have any alternative (FREE) suggestions to this problem........

thanks......
PS->i know that compilation doesn't really improve anything drastically, but my isp requires
my perl stuff to be in executable form......

If perlcc can't compile anything, are you sure you've got the compilation tools it's trying to use? Look at 'perl -V's output. Also, it seems unlikely that your ISP wants you to compile your perl scripts. Are you sure that they don't just want you to set the executable permissions? `TACCTGTTTGAGTGTAACAATCATTCGCTCGGTGTATCCATCTTTG ACACAATGAATCTTTGACTCGAACAATCGTTCGGTCGCTCCGACGC`	[reply]

Many ISPs still don't provide Perl on their servers. (Believe it or not.) By compiling your Perl application into a .exe file, it can be executed 'just like any application'. Everything will go worng!	[reply]

I was using perl2exe from http://www.indigostar.com/perl2exe.htm It is not free, but i found it very good. They have trial version. You can download and try it.	[reply]
