Lee,

I have a simple solution for you: use niPerl:

http://www.numeninest.com/Perl/

After installing niPerl you simply right-click on a .pl file in your Explorer window and select "Convert to Exe..." and magically your single exe file appears in the same directory. No external compiler, make utility, or convoluted command lines are needed. I use niPerl to edit/build my Win32::GUI apps into stand-alone exe's which run fine on any other Win32 machine. The resulting exe file is bloated (approx 3MB) but to have all the goodness of perl built into it is worth it.

niPerl is a full Win32 build of perl 5.6 including most common CPAN modules and Win32 modules. niPerl allows you to execute a .pl file just by double-clicking on it. niPerl also includes perl documentation and the very slick SciTE editor for editing perl scripts (you can also right-click edit .pl and .pm files). Install is simple, just like installing any other Windows app. I love it.

I've also scripted Win32::GUI apps under Cygwin and tried perlcc for making exe's... but did not have much success producing stable executables.

I would be grateful for any information anyone has about successful complications of Win32::GUI scripts.

Thanks in anticipation
