Although I haven't used it myself, I've read positive reviews of PAR, and it seems like the way to go for your situation. It seems like has the key features you need: * Pack scripts and required libraries with a binary loader that runs the script * Build freestanding applications, which will run on a target computer that does not have Perl installed You don't even have to tied the host having Perl installed! In may case, my firm, (Summersault, <http://www.summersault.com> ), does hosting as well as development. Almost all of our clients host their projects with us. If they want a complex application hosted elsewhere, we let them know that the PITA factor will raise the price of development if we have to make concessions. I think it's often an easy choice since the cost of hosting is usually peanuts compared to development time. In some cases, they will just host /part/ of their website with us. We might set up http://appname.domain.com/ and host that, while the rest of the website is hosted elsewhere. We also happen to have a slew of Perl modules installed. :) We are a smaller hosting operation with personal tech support. If you contact our support line, I may be the one who responds.
