Re^2: Creating executables?

I don't think PerlApp can deploy Perl scripts to any platform. It may be able to deploy them to a few platforms, to those for which an ActivePerl distribution has been compiled. I have doubts that it can deploy to embedded Linux systems, like a WRT54G or even smaller systems. I don't think that it can deploy to the classic MacOS System 7, 8 or 9. I doubt it can deploy to OS/2, HP-UX or to a VAX. And I'm 100% sure that it can't deploy to the C64 or the ZX81. ;-)

PerlApp costs money, and not just five bucks. I don't have a big problem with that, but even if you spend the money, it won't solve the problem.

I don't see why you think the OP wants to deploy to every platform. madhi, could you explain what your goal is?	[reply]

Thanks for all your inputs I want to create a parsing application which is generic to all platforms that’s my goal, as I am newbie to Perl checking the feasibility whether it can be done are not Thanks Madhi	[reply]

I want to create a parsing application which is generic to all platforms that’s my goal, I asked for clarification, and you now want to support "all platforms". If that's really what you want, the answer is no. My watch surely doesn't have enough memory to hold your parser. But since this is a Perl forum, I'm going to assume you mean any machine that runs Perl. If so, I fail to see the problem. The developers of Perl already went through the effort of making Perl installable on a wide variety of machines. All you have to do is write your program.	[reply]

PerlApp is said to be able to deploy to "any platform", but it can't. madhi's problem is explained in Re^2: perl pp packging problem, but he did not accept my answer. Alexander -- Today I will gladly share my knowledge and experience, for there are no sweeter words than "I told you so". ;-)	[reply]

Again, I don't think you've answered his question. madhi, could you explain what your goal is?	[reply]
