PerlApp -x option

[chinman]

Hey,

I have a question concerning using PerlApp with the -x option on Win32. I would like to exclude the Perl56.DLL from the executable, since I have several scripts to package up as separate executables, and including the DLL makes for a big-ass file. If I use the -x option I know I will have to have the Perl56.DLL on the target machine. My question is, will I need to register that DLL or can I just place it in the same directory as the executable.

Regards, chinman.

Nope, just make sure it is somewhere in the path (I prefer the windows\system32 dir to keep things tidy).

You will probably need to add a -a=config as an option to make sure that config.pm is included, or you need to distribute it with your script. I consider this broken behaviour but Activestate don't agree with me :)

A great (and free) installer that might come in handy is NSIS. I use this to package my scripts to send to clients.

Hope this helps...

Cool, thanks for the info! I checked out the NSIS installer, too. I definitely think I can use that as well.
