in reply to Compiling Problems with PerlApp! Please Help.

As far as I know, in order for PerlApp to work smoothly you need to have ActivePerl installed in your system and use its repositories to install extra modules.

Assuming you're OK with the above, I suppose it should all work out for you if you create a file argfile.args containing the following lines (which are good for ActivePerl 5.10):

--bind mingwm10.dll[file=C:/Perl/site/lib/Alien/wxWidgets/msw_2_8_9_un
+i_mslu_gcc_3_4/lib/mingwm10.dll,extract,mode=444]

Argfile.args should be placed in the same folder with the .pl file you have been trying to compile.

    what modules do I install???

[reply]
      My wxPerl scripts compile fine once I install Alien-wxWidgets, Wx, and Wx-Perl-Packager. Of course, you will have to install any other modules you happen to use in your script to avoid compilation errors.

        Im sorry, but where do i install Alien-wxWidgets, Wx, and Wx-Perl-Packager? Do I put them anywhere and then install them with PPM? Here is my code: 

         
#!/usr/bin/perl                        
use strict;
use warnings;
print "Simple Letter Counting Program\n";
print "Written by StmyD\n";
print "Processing...\n";
print "Please type word for counting: ";
my $name = "<STDIN>";
my $size = length(<STDIN>);
my $final = $size - 1;
my $super = 100 - $final; 
print "Your word contains $final letters and is $super letters away fr
+om being 100 letters!\n";
print "Dare to try me again? Enter here: ";
my $name2 = "<STDIN>";
my $size2 = length(<STDIN>);
my $final2 = $size2 - 1;                            
my $super2 = 100 - $final2; 
print "Your word contains $final2 letters and is $super2 letters away 
+from being 100 letters!\n";
print "One more time... next step gets interesting? Enter here: ";
my $name3 = "<STDIN>";
my $size3 = length(<STDIN>);
my $final3 = $size3 - 1;
my $super3 = 100 - $final3; 
print "Your word contains $final3 letters and is $super3 letters away 
+from being 100 letters!\n";

print "CLICK ENTER to continue to next step, or type 420!\n";
my $text = <STDIN>;
print "Ok, lets try something new. Enter two numbers when prompted and
+ i will tell you\n a bit about them.\n";
print "Number 1: \n";
my $number1 = <STDIN>;
print "Number 2: \n";
my $number2 = <STDIN>;
my $abs1 = abs($number1 - $number2);
my $awesome = 100 - $abs1;
print "These numbers are $abs1 integers apart and their difference is 
+$awesome\n integers away from 100 ";
print "All done.\n";

print "CLICK ENTER to exit!\n";
my $text = <STDIN>;

        The problem is, it does indeed compile without the wx BUT when other people try to use it it does not work on other machines. How can I make this program distributable? Thank you very much thus far you are helping me significantly.

[reply]

        dependent executable is not checked. i just had my buddy execute this on his machine and he received the following error: "The program cant start because libcc_s_sjlj.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem."

        any thoughts?
