citrus perl generated .exe and Perlapp

james28909 has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

I have a gui i am developing with citrus perl. it creates an exe but it has dependant files. Now to the question. Is there anyway to bind the .exe and the .dlls from citrus perl to a perlapp .exe and then execute it without it extracting the .exe and .dlls?
Logically i think it /could/ work, but i am unsure on how to set it up to be honest, lol. would i just do something like the following?
system(Perl::App get_bound file("my.exe");

any input would be appreciated because i am unsure how to go about setting this up. thanks :)

    No

    OTOH, you have citrusperl, why are you bothering with perlapp which claims to only work with activeperl?

      perllapp identified my citrus perl install on its own, it setup searching my citrus perl installation for modules. the problem is it doesnt correctly recognize the correct .pm's and the generated exe with perlapp doesnt work.
      im trying to get around having loose files in the executables directory. i would like for it to be clean and tidy without 4 depending files and 2 depending folders.

        Files/folders are clean/tidy by definition, they're files and folders :)

      Just to help anyone else out who banged their head against the wall for days and days, here is what i did to get it working:

        Without involving citrusperl at all, right?

      also thanks for your input :)
      Got the gui working perfectly with Active State/Perlapp/Wxperl/WxGlade :)
