Re: Perl Query - Conversion of EXE file
The input for the EXE has to be taken from the file provided by the user.AndThe EXE shud get invoked by just dragging and dropping the input file on the EXE. Assume, the input file is some text file containing some raw data. How should this be done? You'll get the path to the dropped file in @ARGV.

Anyway .. if you run the main.pl it works, right?
Yeah, mail.pl works
If you run the created EXE in the same folder what does it do?
The created EXE in the same folder works
If you run it from a different folder?
From a different folder it flags a msg Cannot open subroutine.pl
which i
have written in my main.pl like
unless (open(LINE, subroutine.pl)) {
die(Cannot open input file subroutine.pl\n);
So, the die statement is executed.
You said you require() the other files, not that you try to open()
them!!!
Why do you open() the file???
The require() includes some special magic to find the files packed
into the EXE, open() doesn't. open() tries to open a file in the
current (or specified) folder, not within the EXE.
Are you sure you need to open() the subroutine.pl? Show us a little
more of the code!
I know PerlApp allows you to include some data files in the generated
executables and then extract them somewhere so that you can work with
them, but pp doesn't seem to do that.

Jenda,
I got a doubt here. Suppose the file does not contain any thing perl code.
If it contains only some data for configuration, is it possible to include
by using 'require' ?

Re: Perl Query - Conversion of EXE file
From: Dharshana Eswaran [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hi Randal, I am trying to generate an exe file from few perl programs. I have 4 files which are main.pl, subroutine1.pl, subroutine2.pl and subroutine3.pl. main.pl file is the main program and it depends on the other subroutine files for data. So i tried zipping it using winzip and ran pp -o foldername.exe foldername.zip the exe file gets created as foldername.exe but when i tried runing it , it flags an error saying Usage: D:\Perl\foldername.exe script_file_name. Can i know how to create the EXE file with all the files together? Thanks and Regards, Dharshana You are making it harder for yourself than you have to. Don't ZIP anything ... pp -o main.exe main.pl should be enough. And if the pp doesn't notice your main.pl uses subroutineX.pl then try pp -o main.exe main.pl subroutine*.pl Jenda = [EMAIL PROTECTED] === http://Jenda.Krynicky.cz = When it comes to wine, women and song, wizards are allowed to get drunk and croon as much as they like. -- Terry Pratchett in Sourcery -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://learn.perl.org/ http://learn.perl.org/first-response

What happens if you add

on the very top of main.pl? Do you get first this message and then
the one about subroutine.pl? And if that subroutine.pl even in the
same folder as the main.pl? Maybe you need to give pp the whole path
to this subroutine.pl

The same action as described above happens when run on a different machine
What happens if you add
BEGIN { print Starting the execution of main.pl\n }
If the above statement is added, it prints the above statement and then
prints the message as shown above, like:
Starting the execution of main.pl
Cannot open input file subroutine.pl
on the very top of main.pl? Do you get first this message and then
the one about subroutine.pl? And if that subroutine.pl even in the
same folder as the main.pl? Maybe you need to give pp the whole path
to this subroutine.pl
But the requirement is that the resulting EXE should not have any depending
files. So keeping subroutine.pl in the same folder does not satisfy the
requirement.
As, the resulkting file has to be distributed among ppl who does not have
any knowledge on Perl. So, they can only run the exe file.
And also, i wanted to know, if the EXE can be created in UNIX

Hi Dharshana, Just Zipping the file will wont work. You have to include them in program with 'use or 'require'. Try to do that.

Perl Query - Conversion of EXE file
Hi All, I just have a query in Perl. I am in search of a way to convert Perl Program to EXE file. So that it can be run anywhere even without installing Perl. I searched the net and had mailed the beginners mailing list which suggested me a few tools like Perl2exe or Perl_Dev_Kit to do the same. But i wanted to know if there is any other way to do the same. Can we make this program as a Perl module, use it in a C code and then create the EXE of the C code? Will this work? I am not sure, so thought will ask you for suggestions. Can anyone please guide me in the same? Thanks and Regards, Dharshana I
