Re: [perl-win32-gui-users] storing bitmaps in one external file?

[Steve L. <ste...@sc...>]

Got perl2exe, and it works a treat :)

old par/pp compile time (with filters) -> 10 mins
new perl2exe compile times -> 10 seconds

its also dropped the memory footprint back down to where it should be 
(40Mb down to 17Mb), and it also fires up a lot faster (8-9 seconds down 
to 2-3 seconds).

What a result...
