Hi, for some odd reasons I've been writing a small text based game in Perl with XML. I need to deploy this game to a variety of different people and environments. At this point I'm mostly trying to package my program and modules into an executable (I'm doing my work on a Win32 machine). I've succeeded in getting an .exe working fine, but I need to be able to run it on a mac. I know the perl environment is included on mac, but I need to set it up in a way that anyone could run it; i.e. a double-click-able file. At this point I'm at a loss on how to do this. To do so on the PC I've been using PAR::Packer / pp , but it can only create binaries for the environment it's run on as far as I can tell. Is there any other module I can use that can create cross-platform binaries? I've found a program called 'platypus' that will create a script to run it, but the program is native to mac. Is there any way I can do this on a windows machine? Thank for your help.
