subroutine.pl?
Anyway .. if you run the main.pl it works, right?
Yeah, mail.pl works
If you run the created EXE in the same folder what does it do?
The created EXE in the same folder works
If you run it from a different folder?
From a different folder it flags a msg "Cannot open subroutine.pl" which i
have written in my main.pl like
unless (open(LINE, "subroutine.pl")) {
die("Cannot open input file subroutine.pl\n");
So, the die statement is executed.
If you run it on a different machine?
The same action as described above happens when run on a different machine
What happens if you add
BEGIN { print "Starting the execution of main.pl\n" }
If the above statement is added, it prints the above statement and then
prints the message as shown above, like:
Starting the execution of main.pl
Cannot open input file subroutine.pl
on the very top of main.pl? Do you get first this message and then
the one about subroutine.pl? And if that subroutine.pl even in the
same folder as the main.pl? Maybe you need to give pp the whole path
to this subroutine.pl
But the requirement is that the resulting EXE should not have any depending
files. So keeping subroutine.pl in the same folder does not satisfy the
requirement.
As, the resulkting file has to be distributed among ppl who does not have
any knowledge on Perl. So, they can only run the exe file.
And also, i wanted to know, if the EXE can be created in UNIX
