Hello,
Just a note - we've successfully used PAR toolkit for our Stunnix Perl Web
Server and framework for cross-platform browser-based applications written in
Perl (a nice concept that instead of using Tk or GTK for writing GUI for
application, one just has to create a dynamic web site that provides the same
functionality, that is served by server running on user's computer). Toolkit
allows one to create a single executable file that doesn't require
Perl interpreter to be present in the system; once it's run, web server
is started on a free port (if it's not running yet), and dynamic web site
(functioning as a browser-based application) is opened in the user's browser.
Also multiplatform CDROMs with browser-based applications can be created
(though PAR is used only as a mean to pack all dependancies into zip archive,
since all modules and site itself and perl interpreter are put in uncompressed
form to the CD).
More information and demos that use Project Manager for our Perl Obfuscator
as a sample site can be found on:

We thank PAR community for a good tool!
