Perl Question

[S0Y73NTGR33N]

So I'm just starting to learn Perl.

Can you compile it into executables in windows?

What I want to do is use the things I am writing in Perl on other computers, can you do this without installing Perl on that computer?

I know how to convert it to a batch file, is that the only thing you can do?

PerlAPP can do this. It's included in the PDK (Perl Dev Kit) for the ActiveState distribution. It's not free though.

Also, there's Perl2Exe Again, not free

you could put a perl interpreter on the CD.

yeah that's what I did and just made a batch file like

%Perl\bin\perl u.pl

u.pl is the program I'm running..

it works great.

The standard perl distributions even come with perlcc, although I haven't had much luck with it.
