Have you checked Super Search on convert perl exe? Have you checked pp or PAR?	[reply]

A fellow monk wrote a tool called perlc that can pack everything into a single executable, you can grab it Here. From what I've seen, it works fairly well. For a truly cross-platform solution you might want to use the likes of MagicErmine on the executable that perlc creates. I picked up a copy of Ermine for Ł30, which isn't bad considering what a great job it does. I can move my executable from RedHat, to Ubuntu, to Slackware and not need the necessary libraries installed on the target machine. I do not know how well this method would go with a Tk app, I have yet to try.	[reply]

There is no perfect solution when it comes to building a standalone executable from Perl. From my experience I was able to create one using perlc then use MagicErmine on that binary to create a standalone cross-platform 32/64bit executable that successfully ran on multiple distributions. As I mentioned, though, I have not tried it with Tk.	[reply]
