There are really only two choices at this point. There is perl2exe and there is ActiveState's PerlApp that comes as part of the Perl Dev kit. I don't know if you can get it separately. You may also hear of and be tempted to use perlcc. A small piece of advice. DON'T DO IT!!! STOP! THIS WAY LEADS TO SOULWRENCHING PAIN!!! And it's also not a good idea. perlcc is a good idea, but is not exactly a finished product. I'd say it's worth the money to go for one of the first two choices if you really need stand-alone exe's. One thing to keep in mind, though: the stand-alone .exe files range from between 400k and 1.7MB, depending on the size of the program and what modules you use.

Can you generate a stand alone ...exe file from Perl?
