Ok well I wrote a programming environment (glorified text editor) for perl in perl. Now I am going to compile the editor but in the script I have a "check syntax" and "run script" function which as I am sure you can guess call the perl interpretor.

Instead of just erroring when this function is called and the interpretor is not on their system I would like to be able to make sure they have a perl interpretor installed and prompt them to install it if not.

Or maybe even not have these 2 buttons show up at all if perl is not installed on the system

I know it sounded a little confusing, does it make since now?

Oh and I am compiling it with the free version of perl2exe but was wondering if there was a better free one out there that does not have trial version limitations. I have tried perlcc, B::CC and I think one other and they all error. perl2exe is the only one that compiles successfully.
