Re: Choose your own Adventure - for Perl & Windows

To be honest, I didn't read through your posted code.

What I'm confused about is if you're going to bundle your code into an executable so that it can be distributed to others and used on systems that don't have Perl installed, why limit yourself to only use core modules and why not bundle in the needed DLLs into the executable? I'm not saying that there's anything "wrong" with your approach. There's just a few aspects that differ from how I personally would do things - which would be to use whatever modules I want to and create an executable that doesn't need other files (such as DLLs) in order to be used.

Here's a blog post where someone described the steps to use Strawberry Perl and PAR::Packer to package a Mojolicious app (including the required DLL files) into a stand alone executable.

Just thought I'd share some info on another approach.
