in thread Perl script to EXE to Windows Service

I thought that was the idea behind pp. That it took all the requirements of the script and wrapped them up along with a perl interpreter into a .exe.

    all the perl-code. c-parts (dlls in windows) are different (because the are already compiled).
    you will have to supply them. (as you would have to if you deploy you program in perl-sourcecode)

      Not really. If you have the latest PAR and Moudule::Scandeps (a dependency), you shouldn't have to (at least with a regular module like Win32::Daemon). Try these to see that its true :) 
      perl -e "use Win32::Daemon;print $/,$Win32::Daemon::VERSION,$/;"
scandeps -V -e "use Win32::Daemon;print $/,$Win32::Daemon::VERSION,$/;
+"
pp -e "use Win32::Daemon;print $/,$Win32::Daemon::VERSION,$/;"
a.exe

      If it doesn't work for you (and you're on win32:), you're not using the latest and the greatest PAR (and its dependencies).

      As a general rule, if `pp' isn't packing up everything it should be, chances are you need to learn How to use PAR.

      MJD says "you can't just make shit up and expect the computer to know what you mean, retardo!"
      I run a Win32 PPM repository for perl 5.6.x and 5.8.x -- I take requests (README).

        Well, it does work, sort of... I am not sure if it is what should be expected. And, I am not sure whether on not I have the latest and greatest PAR. I installed it using ppm.

        Interestingly, roth.net lists the latest version of Win32::Daemon as 20020606. I get 20030617 above, which, I am assuming, should be more recent (lookslikeadatetome).
