For a mixed VB/perl system, you'd probably need to have perl installed. For a perl only system you can use PAR to create a single binary that doesn't need a seperate perl installation. I don't know much about about win32 systems, so maybe someone can point you to another solution. "What should it profit a man, if he should win a flame war, yet lose his cool?"	[reply]

I think your going to need to expand on your deployment issues to get some good help. What modules? How does VB call the perl? Who are the end users? Are you looking for something you can install via a windows installer? The best generic perl deployment of scripts/tools I've ever done with perl has been via PAR. Fendaria	[reply]
