    When you create an executable using pp, the executable normally only runs on the same OS it was created under. Since you created it under Cygwin, it likely will only run under another Cygwin installation (may even require the same version of Cygwin)

    If your Perl application is pure Perl, pp can create a PAR file that might run via the parl command on other OSs.

      my script is a pure perl script using LibXml module. other colleagues used pp to run exe script created under Cygwin on the same solaris server.
        a pp-ed script built on cygwin to run on solaris? good luck with that (it wont work)
