Hello,

I would recommend you to forget about PAR and this "showing logo" idea. I'd recommend you to make (using free NSIS installer) an installer for your app (that will install all perl interpreter and only required Perl modules). This way your app will start instantly, you will also have a chance to create menu items and get uninstall entry in Control Panel, and your prog will take about 5Mb installed on disk while installer being sized 1.3Mb.

For example I've seen such approach with Stunnix JavaScript Obfuscator - just click on Evaluate link, enter your email and inspect what their installer produced on your disk. (BTW it uses locally-running webserver (written in Perl) and Perl-driven site running on it for GUI, so it can work on any OS Perl runs on).

Good luck!
