Re: (tye) Win32 executable AS PerlApp, perl2exe, perlcc, ??

Great post, this is may opinion, too. But ...

I'm not sure what policy allows your friend to copy files but not "install" Perl

Well, our real life is the following:
We design/support a rather big application for a PC/Mainframe environment and after the switch from OS/2 to Windoze we introduced perl to configure test environment for the different development stages, databases, reproduction of bugs in production environment for different customers etc. Parts are running on a Citrix server and that has to be a closed box. It is easy to mess up things by accident, especially if the administrating people still have some homework left to do.

As the developers do not need perl (poor guys) it was decided to keep the perl runtime off the server and the developers to minimize the risk.

Hi, I came across this while looking for something to make executables from Perl scripts. I found the commercial PerlApp and Perl2EXE - but finally found PAR, which does pretty much the same thing. It's a standard Perl module - so FREE! I installed it from http://www.bribes.org/perl/ppmdir.html (search on PAR.ppd) and it appears to work fine. I hope this info will help other people on the hunt!
