Yes, but reading this:
-------------------------
That's it. The process should also work with zip instead of tar, but I
haven't tried it.
The recipient of the binary must have Perl built with a matching
architecture. Luckily, ppm will catch this.
This procedure requires 0.40-TRIAL8 (for no-source support).
For a binary dist *with* C source code, simply omit steps 2, 3, 6, and
7.
If this seems too hard, then wait for version 0.41 and type:
perl -MInline=makeppd Simple.pm
---------------------------
seems to indicate that the recipient of the binary needs to have Perl
installed on the machine. PerlApp creates a binary that is
"free-standing", that is to say Perl does not need to be resident on the
recipients machine.
I want one .exe file that contains all the goods to run by itself without
requiring Perl to be on the machine. That is what PerlApp claims to do.
