If your clients can handle a 500KB download, then you could write the whole thing in Perl and use PerlApp to create an EXE file. As long as you're not using Tk or anything humongous, it should stay around that size. The actual download size of a client that runs the .exe regularly will often be lower than the size of the .exe. We have one as part of our login script, and the only downside is that it takes about three minutes to finish over a dialup connection for our remote users. It all depends on how much you will benefit from the added functionality of a language like Perl.

Hi all, I would like to use Perl to write some logon script that now are written with Kix. My question is how to deploy to all client already installed the Perl interpreter and all the modules that I need. Know the Kix32.exe is copied in the logonscript directory of the primary Domain Controller and replicated to all the Backup Domain Controller, but Kix32.exe is a file of 160K. The installation of Perl in my PC is about 20 MB. Someone already uses Perl to do it?
