Check out ActiveState's PerlApp that comes with their Perl Dev Kit. It does a very good job of packaging your Perl scripts in a compressed executable that will extract and then run the script without Perl having to be installed on the target machine.
There is also a product called perl2exe which is similar, but I haven't used it. -----Original Message----- From: NYIMI Jose (BMB) [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, October 07, 2002 7:54 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: How to deploy a Perl Application Hello, I start (3 days ago) learning: "Writing GUI with Perl". I bougth the book "Mastering Perl/Tk" from Oreilly : hope made a good choice :-) My question is: Once I develop my Application(GUIs) and so one, how to deploy it to users ? If my users are using PC (Windows OS) and they don't Perl installed on their PC, - should I go and installed Perl on each user's PC : I don't think that's a realistic way to do :-) - should I put my Perl/Tk script on a shared drive accessible by all users then they have just to execute it from their PC ? Any info is welcome ? Thanks in advance José. **** DISCLAIMER **** "This e-mail and any attachment thereto may contain information which is confidential and/or protected by intellectual property rights and are intended for the sole use of the recipient(s) named above.
