Hello,

i've installed some modules in my unix machine which i'm using in my scripts. however, i'd like to make those scripts executable from any machine, with minimal requirements of perl installed. is it possible ?

thanks,

You can look into something like perl2exe, but I don't think anyone here has much experience in using it or any other modules to do so.

I think when you make a perl program into an executable with perl2exe it includes perl in the executable. Maybe look into perlcc but I have no experience with it myself. Make sure to read the perlcc documentation carefully.

U can try another way also without installing several modules..

Just make a copy of required modules in one server system.

Call that module exists path using

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. use lib 'module exists path';
  2.

Actually, I don't know if that will work. Referencing Perl modules on another machine could run into things like permissions issues and the like. Plus, I don't know if Perl would like it, but I could be wrong.

I have a python cgi that i wrote. The way it works is a user fills out necessary information on a web form, click submit and the python script is executed. The script retrieves variables from the form and writes them to a txt file. The script then calls a executable which uses this txt file as a set of input parameters. I'm using this to call the executable os.system("webtablx4002") and then i just added webtablx4002 at...

Hello, I have two different scripts that do pretty much the same thing. The main perl script is on Windows. It runs and in the middle of it, it then calls out another perl script that then should run on a Unix box I have. Both scripts run ok, except for the part when Windows try's to call out the Unix script. I have it set up where the Unix is mapped through a drive letter and can drop stuff into the Unix box. It is going through another...

Hi, I would like to know is somebody has experience in showing HTML from a perl executable in the default browser and let that html interact with the perl executable via the browser. This is because we would like to convert some of our perl scripts (ActiveState) via the Activestate compiler in order to have some stand alone executables.

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); ?>

Hi All, I have trouble with embedding a Perl interpreter into a C program. I would like to replace some subroutine in a Perl script without changing this script from my C program. I need replace (override build-in function): print() and exit() functions. I know that in Perl script I can’t override print(), but for exit() function I can: use subs ‘exit’; sub exit { CORE::print “Overriding exit”; } exit(1);

I have a Perl script that I want to run as a set-user-ID program. Many OSes don't allow scripts run as set-user-ID. To make this script portable, it seems I need to write a C wrapper program that calls exec or system to give the Perl script the necessary effective permissions. How can I make the C wrapper program secure? or "more" secure? The Perl script, which is "-rwsr-xr-x root root" will look at the real user id and then check a...
