Re^5: Strange behaviour (Spreadsheet::WriteExcell)

Can you use PAR or ActiveState's PDK to create '.exe' versions of your scripts such that all the Perl necessary for running your code is packed into that one '.exe' file, and thus the version of Perl for your program could independently be 5.8?

In fact that I am already creating self contained '.exe' files for distribution to other Windows based machines. The problem with moving to 5.8 is that one of the ActiveState modules I use didn't work under 5.8 but was OK under 5.6. It could well be that the issue has been fixed since then, but to be honest I have not yet seen a compelling reason to invest the time to switch. (Even this present issue can be fixed)	[reply]
