I am looking for a tool (a GPL one nothing else) which convert perl script into an executable one for Win32.
Be cause i don't want to install perl library on every computer which will use the script.
I know that is bad to do binary files but it is for internal use and the source code will be aviable under GPL.
It is not for bussiness interest it is to have an easy way to install the script on computers.

Thanks a lot in advance for your replies

Long life to GPL !!!

The only tool I know of that will do what you ask is perl2exe. It is not GPL though and costs approx. £200.
 
thanks a lot greadly
I already test it.
But it is not GPL as you said.
Is there a GNUproject which work on something like that ?
Any beta version will be ok.
The script is very simple no Tk.
 
Bur,

ActiveState also has a compiler included in the Perl Dev Kit at : it is not GPL, but you can download it and get a 15 days trial which will allow you to create your exe.

If this is for internal use, I am not aware of legal problems, but I must admit license terms on business level is not my major.
AD AUGUSTA PER ANGUSTA
