Re: Problem in creating exe using PAR module

[Anonymous Monk]

This is how you test on your machine

$ pp .... -o myhotstuff.exe
...

$ set path=

$ myhotstuff.exe

If you forgot something, myhotstuff.exe won't run on your machine either.

Hi,

Thanks for your reply.

Earlier itself some of my perl scripts are not working properly when I try to make exe. Because of some dependencies are not properly identified by PAR module. But I dont know how to identify what are the dependencies it fails to load into the exe.

Is there any possibility to identify such things, if it is, anybody will explain it in detail?

Also, instead of unzipping the exe in user profiles "temp" folder, is there anyway to make a setup file and install all those files in users "program files" folder?

If anybody help us to resolve my above two questions, it would be a great help for me

thanks

If you cleanse the path, windows will tell you what files are missing, so you add the missing files, create exe, cleanse path again, and try to run again. If another file is missing, windows will tell you again. You repeat until you're finished. Alternatively you use dependencywalker ....

Um, its a single exe file, you click on it and it runs.

Another option is Cava Packager

Alternatively you can create your own perl distribution .msi type installer, see Perl::Dist::WiX

Thanks for your valuable suggestions and guidance. I hope I will try your option for creating perl installer

Thanks,
