in reply to Decrease startup time of perl executable in Windows

I quit using PAR once I discovered Cava. It doesn't compress code like PAR does so the executables it creates start faster.

    If the .EXE that Cava generates is small enough, you may be able to convert it to a .COM file for an extra notch of speed, too.

    Indeed, I tried Cava and it is working perfectly. Not only has the startup time of the exe significantly decreased, but there are nice features that come along, such as console/gui option, use of icons, selection of run time privileges required (asInvoker, requireAdministrator etc.), easy edition of version/company/product name information...

    Thank you very much for suggesting this packager, I had never come across it in the past.
