It's not at all necessary for ActivePerl to include GTK+ for that to work. PAR has machinery to include necessary DLLs and other files into the created archive, and unpack them into a temporary space where the packaged script can find them. But the problem that GTK+ is large remains, as well as the problem that GTK+ is not easily relocated. We have PPMs of Gtk2 and friends at http://gtk2-perl.sf.net/win32/ precisely because it's a bear to compile, but those PPMs assume you already have GTK+ installed by deus ex machina. -- muppet <scott at asofyet dot org> _______________________________________________ gtk-perl-list mailing list gtk-perl-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-perl-list
