Re^3: How to copy/cut and paste files without using modules ?

Studying the source code of the modules is a great way of learning Perl.

What "Perl-to-exe" converter are you talking about?

I've tried: * perl2exe of indigoStar * the pp module * Cava Packager 2.0 the last one seems to work with modules but it makes the exe huge in size for no obvious reason. I've actually asked about the perk2exe topic several times but never found an idle (& free) solution.	[reply]

Cava packager never worked for me, but perhaps I have to check the latest version again. pp works most of the time and has decent dependency checking, so it should pick up most of the modules you use. The huge size is due to the fact that these packagers do not turn your script into a pure exe-file at all, but package a minimal perl system into one file. So the resulting "exe" file is nothing else but your perl-system with the necessary modules and files included. When you start the "exe" it unpacks Perl in a temporary location and then that perl image runs your script.
