Re: Never without (win32) perl

Can you share what you did not like about PAR? I was thinking of using PAR to create a Perl distribution for myself (but since i have not used Windows in a while, i did not do much).

Hello, first I'm a PAR noob so what follows may be wrong. I only used pp to create .exe files (it seems there are a lot of other uses for PAR). The .exe is a self-executable archive, and it extracts to the Tmp directory, and is executed from there. Depending on how (or where) you use the .exe, this may not be a problem. My scripts often run on clients machine on which I have to leave no trace, and don't know if I'll have enough rights on the Tmp directory to run something. So best is to try cos it works nice. Have a nice day	[reply]
