Perl is not part of SUS2*, so is not guaranteed to be installed on any UNIX systems; however, it is an optional (and mostly a default) install in all major UNIXes and Linux flavors. Some IBM software relies on the existence of Perl (e.g. ClearCase). You can generally count on people having Perl installed, but you still may need to use PAR::Packer even if they have Perl: you may need modules they don't have installed and the sysadmins may not be willing to install them. You could also install the modules yourself in a subdirectory and use the lib pragma, but a PAR::Packer executable is generally an easier to manage. * http://opengroup.org/onlinepubs/007908799/xcuix.html -- Chas.
