I don't believe that there are any utilities that will do this directly.
However, there is a file pl2bat.bat that is included with ActivePerl that you can use to translate a perl script into a bat file. You can then translate the bat file to a com file if you wish. Although I expect that a bat file should be sufficient for most purposes.
Honestly though, I would avoid doing either of these things. If all you want is to be able to invoke the perl script easily, then just create a bat file that will invoke perl and the script. That way any changes you make to the script won't require an update to the bat and then update of the com.

There is also perl2exe by IndigoStar, but I have never used it and don't know how well it works. I also highly agree with Miller. Create the batch file to do it for you. Everyone I have seen discuss these programs says that they don't do the job correctly and you end up having miscellaneous issues.

Hi,
I am trying to call a perl program (that connects a webserver database) from a php program via a webbrowser. For example : http://development.noaa.gov/test_exec.php?dataid=8313. The test_exec.php script that calls the perl program is as follows:
<?php
error_log("inside test_exec \n");
$dataid = $_GET;
$cmd = "/usr/bin/perl /........../db_connect_psql_RS3.pl ". $dataid;
error_log("dataid = $dataid\n");
exec($cmd);
?>

After reading the tutorial about the Perl Database Program:
Perl Database Tut.
I was wondering if anyone could help me have it interface with a MySQL database instead of storing information in a .cgi file. I understand DBI is most likely needed here, but I am a relatively new programmer when it comes to perl so I have no clue where a connection script would be needed where.

Hi,
How do I convert a word document into a text file. (For eg: If I give input as file1.doc, my Perl program should automatically convert it into file1.txt)
Is there any Perl module which does this conversion?
I would appreciate your response!
Thanks in advance!

Introduction
Many websites have a form or a link you can use to download a file. You click a form button or click on a link and after a moment or two a file download dialog box pops-up in your web browser and prompts you for some instructions, such as “open” or “save“. I’m going to show you how to do that using a perl script.

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
Here is my compilation command:
