There are three products that I know of, but two of them cost money. ActiveState has a great Perl Dev Kit that includes PerlApp, which will package your perl script, modules, and interpreter into an executable. It works very well. You also get some other great utilities with it, like PerlSvc, which allows you to create PerlApp-style executables that run as services.
There is also a product called Perl2Exe by IndigoStar which I am told works well, but I haven't used it. Neither of these compile the Perl code, they both just package it in a way that is redistributable, so the size of the executables can be fairly large (500KB to 2MB), depending on which modules you use and whether they include large DLLs). There is also PAR on CPAN, but I haven't used that either: http://search.cpan.org/~autrijus/PAR-0.85/lib/PAR/Tutorial.pod -----Original Message----- From: kathyjjja [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, October 18, 2005 12:49 PM To: beginners@perl.org Subject: How to build an executable on Windows Hello everyone, I am running Active State Perl on my PC and want to build a .exe.
