The first one to run unpacks the perlxx.dll and starts the second one which is the perl program. If you used "pp -d . . . " there would only be the second, but you would need the perlxx.dll around somewhere already. > Also, the temp file created when using 'pp' to create > the executable never gets cleaned up.

I use the following batch file instead of pp.bat itself: @echo off set PAR_CLEAN=1 call pp.bat %* set PAR_CLEAN= > The files left behind by pp -F don't use > the same dir as pp by default - these also are getting left behind) Don't know about those, but the PAR_CLEAN=1 might make them go away also.
