    Had you clicked the link I provided and actually read some of the text you'd know what pp does. The description section covers it all well. This is something completley different from packages acquired by PPM.

      no I read it , but it does not explain how to use pp in the script , that is where I am stuck . where to write those line in the script nad how to install that tar file

        "no I read it , but it does not explain how to use pp in the script , that is where I am stuck"

        You don't use pp within your script. The documentation quite clearly shows that this tool is used to create an executable version of a script. There is an explanation and many examples. If you feel the documentation could be improved you're free to provide a patch.

        "how to install that tar file"

        Use cpan to install pp and it's dependencies:

        cpan pp

        how to use pp in the script , that is where I am stuck .

        You don't use pp in the script, pp is the script , pp is a program, you run pp from the shell, or if you insist, you can use system to call the program pp

        where to write those line in the script nad how to install that tar file

        Um, if at first we're not understanding what you're asking, using progressively less words in subsequent questions won't help us understand you any better :)

    what exactly will pp do ?

    Maybe you can read the linked documentation to figure out what pp can do. OTOH, strawberryperl comes with cpan, so what you're talking about suddenly becomes a mystery

      we need to install cpan in strawberry perl to run it , so that is what i am saying ,is it possible to use the cpan without the user having to install it . As far as pp is concerned , my question was since I am not using active perl so why ppm not cpan , because from my knowledge ppm is for active perl

        As far as pp is concerned , my question was since I am not using active perl so why ppm not cpan , because from my knowledge ppm is for active perl

        pp is not ppm -- when monks give you links, click them cause otherwise why bother?
