If you are a beginner, the answer is probably no. Of course it all depends what you want your executable to do, but if you want to do the same as a C compiler for example, then you are pretty much out of luck. There was an experimental project to do this, but it doesn't work completely and is basically dead. > How? No doubt someone will suggest something like perl2exe.

I'm not familiar with all these modules, but the author of Set::Scalar has a reasonable pedigree :-) Depending on your needs, bitstrings may suffice. > My questions may be silly as I am the beginner of Perl.
