The question was never asked, but what type of performance difference is seen with a perl2exe type compiler? I develope scripts for Clearcase (a commercial CVS-type source revision control system) that are run when a file is checked in/out etc, and it runs per file.

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. -----Original Message----- From: Peter Lang [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, April 22, 2002 8:07 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Standalone exe's Hi All, This is a newbie question. Can you generate a stand alone ....exe file from Perl?
