Creating standalone executables with PAR:pp is great, but the resulting
executables are slow to start up.
Has anyone looked in to installing a Perl program that has been packaged in
to either a PAR file or an executable?
I have looked inside the pp created executables. I think it would be
possible to create a "Setup.pl" that could install the program it was
packaged with.
Something like:
pp -o Setup -a /perl/site/bin/Parl.exe Setup.pl Program.pl
I envision that running the resulting Setup executable would
1. create a "Program" folder under, say, perl/site/bin with
Program.pl and it dependences
2. create a "Program.bat" script in /perl/site/bin which
would invoke /perl/site/bin/Program/Parl.exe with a
modified main.pl to run Program.pl
Anyone tried something like this?
Is this reasonably workable?
