Again, the question stands: why do you want to do this? Nearly every instance of Linux in the world is going to have Perl installed, so why bother making Perl scripts that avoid using that built-in interpreter? There are a handful of reasons to want to do this, some a little convincing (e.g. weird compatibility requirements), but by far the most common reason is because the programmer wants a way to hide his code, and is hoping that a compiled version will be more obscure. Don't bother. It won't work. You can get something that will compile, and run, and look funny if you examine the file, but if someone wants the original code back, there are techniques for doing so. If you're after something else, please explain, but be aware that in most cases, the answer is "the standard Perl that comes with Linux". -- Chris Devers -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <http://learn.perl.org/> <http://learn.perl.org/first-response>
