Compiling, Who Knows How To Complile Perl? 1

[perlkid]

Hi Everyone,

Does anyone out there know how to compile perl into a binary format, like c++ is?

Thanks Much,

If you are using a Windows OS, goto

http://www.activeperl.com

and download their Perl Development Kit 2.0.
There is a way to convert perl files into executables (dependent or free-standing). I think the file name is PerlApp.pl (Usage is pathtoperlapp\PerlApp.pl -w Filename.pl -e ExecutableName.exe -d [for dependant] OR -f [for free-standing].

I think you will have to purchase a license to convert perl files into free-standing files.

Have Fun.

Thanks mate,

Cool Name, he he.

I'm on linux though, sorry I forgot to mention that. Do you know how to do it on linux/unix type servers?

Thanks,

Write a compiler if you can't find one. It'd be a fun project. If you know Perl and ASM, it should be rather easy. No more than about two or three hundred hours work

If you want a quicker solution though, I know that there is a free Perl compiler already written, though I haven't used it and don't know where it is. Try perl.com or perl.org. [sig]<p> Sincerely,<br><a href=mailto: > </a><br><a href=

Actually, there is a Perl to C compiler out there (since Perl was written in C, this is an easy conversion). If you can find that, just convert to C, then compile it. [sig]<p> Sincerely,<br><a href=mailto: > </a><br><a href=

Thanks Mate, You have been very helpfull, Oh yea, and you got my vote

I just don't know enough darn c though. I know perl really well, but I picked up on c because I know so much perl, never really had the chance to get more programming expirience with it since work always got it the way.

Thanks Though, maybe in a few years I'll make one. You really stuck that one in my head though, now I want to make one.
