Packaging for Perl Code

[tarunmudgal4u]

Hi, I've written a Perl script that I want to deploy on multiple clients. For this, to avoid Perl and required modules installation on clients, I thought to create a standalone exe of my Perl code.

I tried three different ways to accomplish this task i.e. 1) perl2exe 2) ActivePerl's perlapp and 3) PAR::Packer pp utility

All of these ways didn't work and the problem was with Sys::Info::OS module. No any of above utilities helped me to resolve this issue. Below is the somewhat error I got for all of these utilities (as of now it's the output of pp utility)-

Other details:

- OS: Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard (x64 bit)

- ActivePerl: (v5.16.3) built for MSWin32-x86-multi-thread

- This script runs normally if run using without packaging
