Perl2Exe: too good to be troooo...?
If I use Perl2Exe to convert all 'Pls' to 'exes' -- does this meant i need never have to install any Perl on the server?

Yeah, I had a closer look into it and what it does is quite cunning really. It builds an EXE file which, when run, extracts PERL.EXE, PERLxxx.DLL, your source code and all the libraries needed into the \WINDOWS\TEMP directory, then simply runs the PERL interpreter as normal.
So, it's a bit of a cheat in that it doesn't really "compile" the program, but atleast it means you have only one single EXE file to distribute.

hey, thanks again Adrian.
If you're based in London, I reckon you must be either an Arsenal or a Chelsea fan... or even Spurs.

Ha ha. Guess again. I'm not really a follower of football, suprisingly - for a Londoner.
