Would you consider this option, dear vss2svn gods ?

It would, by the way, save my life too in this precise case !

I had not investigated a nightly build simply because it seemed that there would not be much more development on this project. I will look into trying to streamline that process.

In the meantime, the only thing that the .exe does is unpack a bunch of files (including the ActiveState Perl interpreter, modules, etc.) into a temp directory and run the interpreter from there. Here is more info on how this is done:
http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/docs/PDK/6.0/PerlApp_overview.html

It is probably possible to prevent PerlApp from removing those temporary files (or maybe it even leaves them in place by default until the next run) so it should be possible to overlay them with the current version in order to get everything working.
