<div dir="ltr">Have you looked at <a href="http://search.cpan.org/%7Eautrijus/PAR-0.85_01/script/pp">PP</a>? It can create archives as stand-alone executables (dependencies included, even the Perl interpreter itself, with or without standard libraries).<br>
<br>I haven't used it in a few years, so you may want to seek other opinions or caveats about it, but it seems very close to what you are looking for.<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Sat, Sep 27, 2008 at 4:33 PM, David Ljung Madison <span dir="ltr"><<a href="http://pm.org">pm.org</a>@<a href="http://daveola.com">daveola.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>
<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">I have a wxPerl application that is the front-end to a perl script.<br>
<br>
I want to package the whole thing up with an installer that installs:<br>
<br>
- my wxPerl front end<br>
- my script<br>
- perl (probably cygWin?)<br>
- wxWindows<br>
- wxPerl<br>
- ..and anything else I might need.<br>
<br>
The project is freeware (i.e., it has no $price to fully use),<br>
so I can't afford any *per-user* license fees, but I can spend<br>
a little bit of money on making a good package.<br>
<br>
The questions that are racing through my mind are:<br>
<br>
1) What's a good wrapper/installer for this kind of project?<br>
It'd be nice if it could be done by a single executable.<br>
<br>
2) What's the best way to package wxPerl on MSWin?<br>
<br>
3) Which versions of MSWin do I need to support to cover most<br>
of the MSWin community? Vista? XP? 2k? I have no idea...<br>
<br>
4) Which perl to use? I attempted porting to cygwin and<br>
activestate before, but activestate had some problems<br>
with opening pipes. Although if that's resolved, I<br>
guess it would probably be easier to package the activestate<br>
perl rather than the monstrous entirety that is cygwin.<br>
