Compiling Perl Scripts

seigniory has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

I am working on a number of small utilities meant to be run from the command line of a Win32 or *nix system. What kind of utilities have the monks & community used in order to compile a script to an application? I stumbled across Perl2EXE by Indigostar (http://www.indigostar.com/perl2exe.htm) and really like the way it works. I didn't look much further because this seemed to have everything I needed. However, I can't help but think that my search would have turned up THE app I was looking for had I spent a little more time. Any insight from the rest of us?

You may want to also consider the Perl Dev Kit from ActiveState, depending on your budget of course.	[reply]

I've tried the tool from ActiveState's dev kit, but not actually shipped anything with it yet.	[reply]
