in reply to Perl Scripts on systems without perl environments.

Give PerlBin a look. I've never used it on os/2, but it claims "PerlBin is for you, whatever your OS may be, as long as there is a perl port for it" and that sounds pretty promising.

I have used it before on Windows and it works fairly well. It is a little misleading, it doesn't pack everything into a single executable file, rather it make an executable that relies on an included custom built library directory, but it is fairly portable.

    Although the website doesn't reflect it, the author reccomends you use PAR

      Will PAR work on OS/2?

        No. From Par's Faq:

        On what platforms can I run PAR? On what platforms will the resulting executable run?

        Win32 (with VC++ or MinGW), FreeBSD, NetBSD, Linux, MacOSX, Cygwin, AIX, Solaris, HP-UX, Tru64.

        The resulting executable will run on any platforms that supports the binary format of the generating platform.

        Update: You might remind them that IBM has published (I forget where) an End-Of-Support date of Dec. 31, 2006 for OS/2. So whatever solution you come up with will likely need to be changed in about a year.
