If you're using Activestate perl (from your mention of ppms) then I would suggest having a look at the perl dev kit, particularly the perlsvc component. I have no idea how well it interacts with POE but I've used it successfully on a number of other non-POE projects in the past. PerlApp is also a handy component for deploying standalone apps. I believe the latest versions also support cross-"compiling" exes from linux hosts as well. We're a linux shop so that is attractive to us but its probably not useful for the majority :-) Cheers, Andrew
