I want to a give a copy of a script I have written to a friend of a friend. I don't particularly want him to have the source code.

Recently I have investigated many ways of compiling Perl code - using 'Perl2Exe', which refuses to compile in URI and LWP modules (essential for my script) and the 'perlcc' program that comes with ActivePerl. Perlcc produced a 33,000 line C program from 500 line Perl program, and after struggling with GCC attempting to compile it, I finally figured out how to tell GCC to look in /foo/bar/ for header files. I'm still missing one header and I get compiler errors anyway. So, I've now given up on compiling into C too. I don't like C anyway - that's why I use Perl!

I'm on Win32 and I really want to get this compiled. Any suggestions would be greatly appreiciated.
