RE: [perl-win32-gui-users] Compiled Win32::GUI scripts?

[Kurt G <ku...@ho...>]

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.
