in reply to Perl2Exe and POD

If I remember correctly (no MSWin box at hand), one of my students was able to read from __DATA__ in an EXE file, if he moved the section to a separate module. Maybe it might work for =pod as well?

    Thanks Coroba. By separate module you mean a separate file (a text file) correct (like the other suggestions on this thread)? I would like to find a solution where I could wrap up the whole thing in a single EXE for mobility, but it doesn't look like that's possible. Instead I think I will end up writing simple print statements for error and usage output. Thanks for the suggestion.

      Module is a text file named *.pm (see perlmod). But I guess it gets exe-fied together with your code. Or is it a different exe creator?

        The exe creator I'm working with is Perl2exe, but there's also PAR that was referenced on this thread that I will also investigate. Thanks
