The PDK PerlApp Docs say that it creates freestanding executables by default. Also, you can create freestanding executables with the evaluation version but they will stop working when the evaluation period ends. Just be sure that you are using the latest version because it fixes some bugs.

If you run perlapp with the --xclude command line option (which I don't recommend), you will need to include perl56.dll with your program in order for it to work.

So you can call your executable like this:

my $command = ".\\destroy.exe"; # change path as needed
my $args = "";
my $process;
Win32::Process::Create($process,
    $command,
    $args,
    0,
    DETACHED_PROCESS,
    '.') || &error(); # fixed typo

Update: I think the code sample is right. If not, can someone please tell me what is wrong with it?

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
