perlcc failing

[Harry]

Hi,

I'm unable to get perlcc to convert my perl-prog.pl program to an exe.
The program runs just fine as a Perl script.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

Hi,

Forget it. perlcc is out of date and is removed in perl 5.10.

You can try PAR:

Or try one of the commercial tools (perl2exe or the activestate tool)

perlcc is broken. It has never worked properly (it was always marked
'experimental'), and has been removed from 5.10. Whatever you are trying
to acheive with it is probably better done using PAR.

Or one of the other free tools.

- Cava Packager
http://www.cava.co.uk/
- PerlBin
http://perlbin.sourceforge.net/

Both work well with the latest official Perl, 5.8.8.

I installed all 7 or 8 PAR pre-requisites. Now, I'm seeing the
following. (Using Perl 5.8.7 on Cygwin.)

Any fix / workaround for this?

Meanwhile, will give Cava and PerlBin a try. Thanks much,
