RE: [MLUG] perl executables

["Pottinger, Hardy J." <EMAIL:PROTECTED>]

Cool, I'll have to check that out some time.

This tutorial on PAR is pretty helpful, and is how I've been compiling
the one Perl program I maintain:
http://www.expertsrt.com/tutorials/Matt/perlPAR.html

And then I package up using the Nullsoft Installer:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/nsis/

I have everything set up in build scripts in my editor, so compiling and
packaging is just a couple of button presses away.
