Converting .pl files to exe

[kriz4321]

Hi all,

I have a program which doesnot use any modules an I need to convert it to an exe.

I downloaded the following modules:
PAR-0.973-PPM56.tar
PAR-Packer-0.975-PPM56.tar

I extracted the contents in the Zip file to a folder called PAR and PARPACKER respecively and then kept in (C;\perl\lib)
I cont insatll any modules from PPM (Some problem with my PC),

Now from cmd prompt if try to give

D:/>pp sample.pl

It gives error as "pp is not recogonized as internal or external command"..

Inside PARPACKER there is a Batchfile called Tkpp so when you click this it will ask for source file and destination file(exe filename),and if I click" build" iam getting the following error..

"Can't locate PAR/Packer.pm in @INC (@INC contains: C:/Perl/lib C:/Perl/site/lib
.) at C:/Perl/lib/pp.pm line 5.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at C:/Perl/lib/pp.pm line 5.
Compilation failed in require at C:/Perl/lib/PAR-PACKER/blib/script/pp.bat line
18.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at C:/Perl/lib/PAR-PACKER/blib/script/pp.bat l
ine 18.."

Let me know where I went wrong. How to convert a .pl to an exe file

You need to chdir to where pp is before you can run it.

Kevin,

I have extracted the contents of Zip file(Modules) and kep it in C;\perl\lib and I kept my perl script also C;\perl\lib still getting the same error

C:\Perl\lib>pp sp1.pl
'pp' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
