The following module was proposed for inclusion in the Module List:
modid: Compress::SelfExtracting
DSLIP: adphp
description: Self-extracting Perl executables
userid: SEANO (Sean O'Rourke)
chapterid: 17 (Archiving_and_Compression)
communities:
perlmonks, perhaps
similar:
Compress::Zlib for pure compression; Text::Quote, too
rationale:
This module creates compressed scripts that will extract and run
themselves without requiring additional modules. It is useful in the
same way that self-extracting archives are useful -- in not forcing
the user to download a second piece of software to get the first to
work. In fairness, the module is more about fun than utility -- the
Perl compression routines are slow, disk is cheap, gzip is
everywhere. Nevertheless, I think it's just useful enough to stay
out of Acme::
