PerlCC is supposed to be able to accomplish this. It is part of the standard distribution from Activestate - however, I have had nothing but difficulty with perlCC. I have succeeded in compiling executables a few times, but often they produce errors such as memory access errors at run time.
I think even with PerlCC you must have a C compiler installed on your machine for it to work, and it must be the same C compiler which compiled your Perl executables (MS VC++ for Activestate) - I can't test that for sure because I have C compilers on all my machines and am not curious enough to uninstall them for that purpose :). In my opinion, Perl2exe is well worth the money - and perlCC has a long way to go. Steve H. -----Original Message----- From: Manuel E. Emmelhainz M.

This question really relates to the fact that PERL is freely distributed and maybe there's also a freely distributed tool for creating EXEcutables. Finally, and since someone also asked this to me and I was clueless, do you know any way to convert a simple Perl script to C code (by simple, I mean without or even with basic Modules). Thank you!
