Hi

This is the setup that I'm using on Win32:
To add the "bribes" repository: Now you'll be able to install PAR and PAR-Packer from Bribes, which works like a charm.

You will just launch the following: 
c:\perl\site\bin\pp.bat -o file.exe file.pl
or 
c:\perl\site\bin\pp.bat --gui -o file.exe file.pl

depending on whether it's a console or Tk application.
I have this setup on three windows machines and so far it seems _the_ best option.

I've tried to use strawberry/vanilla perl as well, and also activestate without the "bribes" repository, but I wasn't able to get both of these running: The aforementioned setup instead gives a workable installation where you can "compile" EXE using standard Perl modules, and even Tk.

If you "care" about crypting your perl files, you might want to have a look at PAR::Filter::Crypto but I haven't actually tested it yet :(
