Compiling perl scripts

Does anyone knows how to compile perl scripts to executables?
I'm working on RH Linux and would like to know the details.
I know that I can use perlcc to do that ... but it isn't
compiling anything other than a simple 'hello world' program :(

Is there any other tools besides perlcc ??

Thanks in advance

Wow.

I KNEW something was missing lately on this list: I haven't seen a good
"How do I compile my Perl" thread in quite some time! I look forward to
all the posts about why and why not to compile your Perl!! Just be glad
you didn't indicate that you wanted to compile for obfuscation reasons,
that really sets some people off!!

In the meantime, Binish, check out this earlier thread for some links:

Yes. And you may even choose which tool to use:

PAR - free
http://search.cpan.org/search? mode=3Dall&query=3DPAR

PerlApp - part of Perl Development Kit
http://www.activestate.com/Pro ducts/Perl_Dev_Kit/

Perl2Exe
www.perl2exe.com

the link is

I've just installed it and is working really great.
Its just like perlcc when considering the size of binary created ( always ~4M, with stripping it'll be ~3M though )
But is better than perlcc in the sense that it will always compile the script to binary :)
Thatz exactly what I needed :D

Thankz Errin and all ...
