great.. you are right, that's exactly what I'm looking for..

Now suppose that I want to install a standalone executable such that it is
integrated into the start menu, and also runs as part of the startup sequence
on any machine that it is installed on... anything to help there, or do I
need to write to the registry myself? Are there any perl based installers
out there, anyways?

Thanks much,

Ed
