in reply to How to Run/Convert(?) Script Built on 5.8.4 to 5.004

Alternatively as a quick workaround you could compile them into executables with the perl development kit.

Or even put them into 1 structured script either OO or procedural) with the possibility to launch the required internal functions & subprocedures by passing on specific commandline parameters. Then you can compile this into 1 general executable with the perl development kit.

Like this all required perl binaries and script code are compiled and the dependency on a perl platform is skipped for production environment.

The pdk only takes the minimum it needs to create the executable so you may end up with a file far smaller than the size of your perl installation.

In development environment however you will still need it.

Regards.
