It can be useful for example if you want to run perl scripts from schedule jobs on remote servers and you don't want to install perl on the server, or if you want to distribute a script offline (on a CD, for example), but don't want to worry about who has what module installed locally. Personally, I would recommend going with PerlApp or Perl2exe if you are serious about creating executables out of your scripts, though. I think perlcc is still in development.

This isn't just directed at you Chuck, but What's the benefit of a precompiled perl program? I just haven't found a need for one and was wonder what is the pros/cons and uses? -----Original Message----- From: Chuck [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, March 11, 2002 2:59 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Win2000: how to compile to exe? I have Activestate Perl 5.6.0 and have been trying to use perlcc.bat to compile a .PL file into a .EXE file. I often get errors like "'' not found" or just the perlcc help screen. How do I compile PL files on Win2000? I read the docs and they were all slanted to unix. Do I need to get a C compiler? Like GNU? Or Cygwin? Thanks.
