in reply to Re: Converting to exe in thread Converting to exe
Thx for responding. Im really sorry, i assumed something(for this you can be stoned in programming), i don't use Active State Perl, i use the Strawberry Perl distribution, i only used the PerlApp(perhaps that's the reason PerlApp didn't built right) application for trying to build the standalone exe. Regarding "use XML::LibXML" with pp it still doesn't work(the same error, it doesn't find the SAX.pm module). With PerlApp i still have to try this. I will install the the ActiveState Perl distribution and try again.

Well I am a bit confused. PerlApp is part of Active State's development kit and will cost you about $300 - check their website for current pricing. This thing works better and is smarter than the free tools, but you have to buy it!
I must say that I am no salesman for Active State. I started using this thing a long time ago, Win NT, Perl 5.6. They've come a long way and the tool has definitely progressed. I am a satisfied user and I have found that this thing works.
Basically if you are getting paid money to write the Perl program that you want to make into an exe, then paying some money to make that process easier and better is not that much of a stretch.
You can use pp with ActiveState Perl. But you cannot use PerlApp with Strawberry Perl. Again, after a decade+ use, I would recommend PerlApp for professional environments. | [reply] |

Thx, i will try the ActiveState distribution. It is funny that Perl App actually builds the exe in exact same way as the pp application(or package packer). So in other words i can build with PerlApp a script with a Strawberry Perl installation. It recognizes the paths to the modules(but not all how it seems).It builds but i get the same error as with the pp applicationI must say i'm a C++ programmer and i'm very new to the Perl world(3 separated weeks at max) so if i say something stupid ... that's also a explanation. Anyway i'll try the ActiveState solution and see further.
