I installed App::PP::Autolink and used pp_autolink to create some executables in a test area. I received a lot of error/warning/info messages (shown in the sample run for one of the programs below). The executables started up, but I am running a full set of regression tests to avoid any "surprises".

Until I am satisfied there are no hidden "gotchas" in the pp_autolink executables I will continue to use perl2exe for production code. Like I said, the disk space usage is not a big concern. It was just an aside. 

pp_autolink -o=pai.exe p.pl
