I stand corrected then, but this is the first I'm hearing where compiling (assuming this isn't mostly some pseudocompile process that results in an .exe) a Perl application on any platform (other than using perl itself) is a reliable process. What's the catch? And how big is a "large" .exe? 500K, 2mb, or 25mb? I see that it requires a Win2k machine to run, and that it requires a license-- and non-educational licenses look to be somewhat pricy (I am not exactly impoverished, but that DevKit costs more than my VCR did). But still, I can now say I've heard differently.
