in reply to Perl to Windows EXE

In addition, you may not really need to convert your script to an exe program, unless you need to redistribute this VB program.

You can invoke the perl interpreter from VB just as you would any other outside application.

However, if you do need to redistribute the program, then the EXE route is probably the way to go, unless you want to ask your users to install ActivePerl with your app.

Either that, or reimplement the perl part in VB, and that's probably WAY too painful :)

    Using a couple of lines like this: 

    ChDir "C:\PerlWork\"
a = Shell("command.com /c perl myprog.pl -w")
