I would like to make my Perl application, a standalone application. I am using Windows, and have found that using PerlApp would be a good way to go, but I do not know how to use it and cannot find too much documentation about converting a Perl file into an .exe. I have one file that is my input, and then I create 2 more and then use those as input again. All of this leads to an output file. I include all of this information because I think that it is needed inside PerlApp. What I am trying to figure out is when I get to the DOS prompt, I type in "PerlApp" and it begins. Then when I try a command (i.e. --help, --exe) nothing happens. Am I doing something wrong? Could someone please lead me in the right direction. Thanks
