I'm surprised no one has mentioned PerlApp, which is part of the Perl Dev Kit from ActiveState.

Some things (using some modules) are a little tricky, but you get the hang of it. I even got it to work with external .dll files from Inline::C which is kind of cool.

The major thing with PerlApp and Perl2Exe is that it solves the distribution and deployment problem in such a good way. If you want to get new users of Perl programs in your organization, the wrong thing to do is to make them install Perl (and you really don't want to run around doing it yourself either). Just send them the .exe file.

-"Yeah, just double click on the icon. Ok? It started? Good."
