Hi Daniel,
I'm on the run, so I'll just reply very briefly.

I just discovered your wonderful tool and successfully created my
first win32 executable with it. I used PerlApp before but as it is
commercial software I'd like to use Par instead. However, I wonder if
there's anything like --use in PerlApp, where you can specify another
executable so the new executable is only packed with modules that
aren't already packaged in the executable you specified in --use.
To clarify, the scenario I've got with PerlApp: Foo.exe (contains all
the modules I need, so its size is about several megabytes)
Anotherfoo.exe (--use Foo.exe, while it's using nearly the same
modules its size is only a few kilobytes)
Download the most recent release of PAR-Packer from CPAN, extract it and
go to the contrib/ subdirectory. There is an old tool in there that
should be able to make .par files (maybe not executables) dependent on
one another. If it just works for .par files, you may have to use parl
to generate an executable from the .par file(s) afterwards. I can't
check the details right now, sorry.
Best regards,
Steffen
