Re: Re^3: perl2exe - no more secrets

The PAR solution available is no argument for NOT using PerApp or perl2exe if it is just about being able to redistribute Perl software without Perl installation.

That's just another way. Also (slightly) more complex if you are used to download ActiveState Perl Install-executables and use PPM for module installation.

Q: Why did the Perlmonk cross the road?
A: He wanted to escape the match.

Why use PAR when the company is willing to buy the Perl Dev Kit? Why not use both? I will use PAR for scripts I write for other people. But for the company, I will use PerlApp since it is there.	[reply]

Because, perl2exe and perlapp are easy installed ready to run programs. If buying a 30 dollar (i dont know the exact prices) ready2run program saves me 1 hour, i'm earning money. That is beside the fact that PAR is fun to play with :-) Q: Why did the Perlmonk cross the road? A: He wanted to escape the match.	[reply]

I will be very happy to know, especially after a massively revamped autoinstall system in PAR 0.66, that what about PAR is still not easy installed and ready to run. :)	[reply]
