Likely, knowing Perl > hackers, someone already has that working, I just don't know about it! It's called PAR, and is very usefull for exactly the purposes you describe. Howether it doesen't work with Gtk ( supposedly because Gtk assumes lots of things, particularily it insists on being installed everywhere ).
If you need portable binary(ie, one for Win32, another for linux, yet another for BSDs..), perl+PAR+Tk works great ( but looks so-so, and is not very pleasent to program for ). I tried fixing PAR/Gtk2-perl, but although there are few fixable things(at my skill level), at the end you end up with general Gtk's inability to run in such environment. The issue is well known:(, and need some love from Gtk developers. -- Key fingerprint = 40D0 9FFB 9939 7320 8294 05E0 BCC7 02C4 75CC 50D9 The good Christian should beware of mathematicians,....
