How to generate EXE for your PERL script?

The I am using is PAR Packer.

1. Downloadmodule PAR Packer:

http://search.cpan.org/~rschupp/PAR-Packer-1.024/lib/PAR/Packer.pm

2. Installpar Packer:

2.1 unzipthe *.tar

2.2 Go tothe directory and run "Perl makefile,pl", if you is using Active Perl, you mayget some error on you Don ' t has GCC compiler, need to install MIGGW asmentioned in Step3

3. downloadand Install MinGW: from website:http://www.mingw.org/

The version I used Is:http://tdm-gcc.tdragon.net/download

3.1 Payattention If you already add the value path ' C:\MinGW\64\bin ' in your systemvariables

3.2 Run gcc–v to see if it issuccessfully installed:

C:\rebecca\script\perl>gcc-v

Using built-in specs.

collect_gcc=gcc

collect_lto_wrapper=c:/mingw/64/bin/. /libexec/gcc/x86_64-w64-mingw32/4.9.2/

Target:x86_64-w64-mingw32

Configured with:.. /.. /.. /src/gcc-4.9.2/configure--build=x86_64-w64-mingw32

Thread Model:posix

GCC version 4.9.2 (tdm64-1)

4. Run Perl makefile.pl, you may get the followingerrors:

c:\users\rebecca\desktop\par-packer-1.024>perlmakefile.pl

It looks like you don ' t has either nmake.exe Ordmake.exe on your PATH,

Able to execute the commands froma Makefile. You can

Install Dmake.exe with the Perl package Manager byrunning:

PPM Install Dmake

You need to install Dmake assuggested, you can run "ppm install Dmake", and you may get the followingerrors:

C:\REBECCA\SCRIPT\PERL>PPM Install Dmake

itis because the Active Perl you be using now isn't business version, ITDOESN ' t support to install automatically onl Ine. You need to install itmanually by following STEP5

5. installdmake: http://search.cpan.org/dist/dmake/

According to the instruction in README. Txt:

So, to-install it, just copy Dmake.exe and the startupsubdirectory to some location on your path.

6. Checkif you already has dmake successfully installed:
