Thanks for the excellent guidelines.Using the above steps i can able to
generate an exe file for a simple script.But at the same time i applied the
above steps to a complex script fo which i got the following error message.
######
/usr/bin/perlcc: multipleanalyseV5.0.pl did not compile, which can't happen:
Starting compile
Walking tree
Prescan
Saving methods
######
Any directions......
Thanks,
