Hi Tim
You get perlapp when you use the perl development kit which I downloaded
from ActiveState (www.activestate.com). In the PDK you also get perlcom
which allows you to create com objects and another tool which allows you
to create services for windows. I use perlapp on windowsNT but I think
it can also be used on linux and solaris systems.
To use it fully it costs about US$150 to register. There are cheaper
tools to create exe's such as perl2exe about US$30 (which you can get
from http://www.demobuilder.com) but perl2exe is not as good/easy to use
as perlapp (just my opinion of course).
regards
Mal
PS. I worked out why my script would not compile correctly.. I had to
pass a list of the modules I was using to perlapp in the form of a
switch statement. As follows
perlapp -f -g -s=myscript.pl -e=myscript.exe
-a=Tk;Tk::Dialog;UNIVERSAL;Tk::Button;Tk::Label

Hi,
I've been looking around in my perl installation and on perl.com to find
information about "perlapp" but can't seem to find anything. Where did
you
get it? It sounds like a very useful tool.
Thanks,
Tim
