Thanks for the response
Yes I have - I currently have a script that requires two input variables from the user. These are gathered using STDIN in perl world.
However I need to compile this to a Windows binary - which works, but the program runs as usual (as you would expect) where the app waits for the input on the command line.

e.g. c:\MyBinary.exe <CR>parameter1<CR>parameter2<CR>output!

I need it to accept switches as per my previous example.

I do realize this is a lame question from a Perl newbie - but I have been searching for this information for several hours without success (including the docs for perl2exe, the lama and Perl Monks - if this is not a suitable question for this board I apologise.
