I have used Perl2Exe successfully for internal and commercial applications for years now. I highly recommend it.

I have used PAR >because it was "free", but i think its time to get serious about this :) I used both in the past, but I had to stop using Perl2exe as the version of perl they were supporting at the time caused me issues (was bugs in perl and I needed to use a later version) - this issue probably doesn't exist now. One feature I like with PerlApp is the --dyndll switch: --dyndll Use the 'dynamic DLL loader'. By default, PerlApp writes bundled DLLs to disk in the "tmp" directory and then uses the operating system to load them into the process. The default setting is "--nodyndll". The dynamic DLL loader bypasses some operating system mechanisms and loads the libraries directly from memory without ever writing them to disk. However it may not be fully compatible with all types of DLLs. It is also not yet compatible with Windows 9x. Executables generated using the "--dyndll" option do not run on Windows 95/98/Me. This means that dll's such as the Win32::GUI modules aren't extracted to disc, then loaded again - a significant saving in start up time. The gotcha is the 95/98/Me issue (which isn't a problem for me). I also use the PerlApp GUI now and again to track down unused modules that sometimes add to the exe size. Both have a free trial (or at least did) so try both:) Cheers, jez. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ - Using Tomcat but need to do more?
