Yes for PerlApp, no for PerlSvc, but as I've said before there are plenty of free utilities to let you wrap whatever the heck you want as a service.

PerlApp and perl2exe are pretty indistinguishable in my experience save three things:

  • Indy builds perl2exe on his machine with a really weird setup (think perl -V) and this can potentially bite you
  • perl2exe does some nasty stuff in the name of "DWIM" (at least for those not doing complex things). For example there is no way to get a runtime use, eval "use Foo"; does not work.
  • The perl2exe license gets tied to a username and must be run by that user.

    perl -pe "s/\b;([st])/'\1/mg"
