Re: Executable perl program help!!

[Rich Parker]

I was at Active State the other day, they have one that can be 
purchased. I have seen a few others when I did a similar search as 
mentioned. I haven't seen one for free or one that has a demo for it, 
I'd love to try one, if anyone sees one, let everyone know about it.

Thanks.

How can i generate such a file?


Million dollar question , No perfect answer.
Depends on what OS you are using.
Do a google on perl2exe

For starters try the O.pm. To convert your perlcode to C and then 
compile the C code

On linux You can compile using
export LDOPTS=`perl -MExtUtils::Embed -e ldopts`
export CCOPTS=`perl -MExtUtils::Embed -e ccopts`
perl -MO=C script.pl > script.c
gcc $CCOPTS script.c -o script $LDOPTS
This  works only on some scripts. The O.pm is still evolving
