blueberryCoffee has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

hello monk types,

I have used pp (part or PAR) to package some apps as stand alone executabes and have liked the results. The only thing I wish is that there was a way to have pp use wperl rather than perl. Does anyone know how this is done - or if it can be done?

Wperl is a windows variant perl processor that runs without needing to open a console window. It comes with activestate's version of perl.

Thanks a bunchola

    From PAR::FAQ:

    How do I make a .exe that runs with no console window under Windows?

    Use the pp --gui option, like this:

    pp --gui -o file.exe file.pl

    Now, I haven't tested this yet - but I've been meaning to run some tests with PAR. When you're done, please post your results.

    Update: A better link to PAR::FAQ - PAR::FAQ
