Creating standalone executables with PAR:pp is great, but the resulting executables are slow to start up.
Has anyone looked in to installing a Perl program that has been packaged in to either a PAR file or an executable? I have looked inside the pp created executables. I think it would be possible to create a "Setup.pl" that could install the program it was packaged with. Something like: pp -o Setup -a /perl/site/bin/Parl.exe Setup.pl Program.pl I envision that running the resulting Setup executable would 1. create a "Program" folder under, say, perl/site/bin with Program.pl and it dependences 2. create a "Program.bat" script in /perl/site/bin which would invoke /perl/site/bin/Program/Parl.exe with a modified main.pl to run Program.pl Anyone tried something like this? Is this reasonably workable?
