Building executable from perl scripts programs using PAR on Activestate Windows

Question

I am used to build windows executable programs from perl scripts using Activestate PDK; now I would like to give a try to the PAR way to do the same thing - still using Activestate distribution:

>

This is perl 5, version 12, subversion 2 (v5.12.2) built for MSWin32-x64-multi-t hread

The documentation states:

>

Combines scanning, zipping and loader-embedding:

% pp -o out.exe src.pl # self-contained .exe % out.exe # runs anywhere on the same OS

but I am unable to find any executable pp.exe, pp.com o whatever.

Sure, PAR installed, version 1.002

Any idea about what I am possibly overlooking/ignoring/forgetting?

Many thanks!

After installing PAR::Packer module, you should find pp.bat in your Perl folder under /site/bin - for me, this location is c:\perl\site\bin\pp.bat.

No PAR::Packer Activestate module is available for perl 5.12 64 bit – Daniel Jan 17 '11 at 14:25
Daniel: So install mingw from PPM and then install PAR::Packer from CPAN! – tsee Jan 18 '11 at 11:54
