I know what your 'sir' means, but the .exe for Perl programs is intended to be perl.exe. This question has been asked many times, and there is a pretty good answer here. Regarding your request to send mail to you with the answer - that's not how this site generally works. You pose a question, you may get answers, and you can optionally use the Chatterbox nodelet to discuss it. We aren't a free confidential advice service. :)	[reply]

You probably want the http://par.perl.org/index.cgi . Altough the end product is an .exe it is not a normal windows executable: You still need a perl interpreter on target machines, but you don't have to take care of all the modules your program depends on. PAR put's everything in one file. Regards, Timo	[reply]

You still need a perl interpreter on target machines Not true! Please read the docs before posting wrong answers. I successfully use PAR to package up Perl apps to run on many Windows PCs that don't have perl installed. -- Oh Lord, won’t you burn me a Knoppix CD ? My friends all rate Windows, I must disagree.
