The option of using PAR to distribute perl apps on OS X came up on my recent (slightly related) thread. I just installed it, and so far it seems to work quite well and easily. The files it produces are somewhat large, though:
% pp -e 'print "Hello, world.\n"' % ./a.out Hello, world. % ls -l a.out -rwxr-xr-x 1 bjaspan staff 1446347 Feb 28 15:13 a.out* That 1.4MB does *not* include libperl.dylib, which is dynamically linked. My real app (much larger than Hello, world) comes to about 1.9MB, and seems initially to work fine. I have yet to test my app thoroughly or test deploy it to other machines. Has anyone else used this? Barry
