Re^2: How to create stand alone Exe

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.

No, it is completely unsuitable for this purpose (or any purpose really)

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]

PAR/PerlApp/CavaPackager.. are all designed this purpose and work out of the box today -- perlc isn't and it won't work, it isn't any kind of solution to the problem of deploying self-contained perl apps.

My working standalone app that runs on multiple architectures begs to differ. Or perhaps it was a figment of my imagination and not really a binary :-O I only used perlc because it was the only one that played well with MagicErmine and was able to compile it all together in a statically linked binary I was able to share successfully. I'm not saying it's the best solution.	[reply]
