p5-PAR

Perl Archive Toolkit

The PAR Toolkit is a cross between Java's JAR and Perl2EXE; It makes cross-platform packaging and deployment a breeze for Perl programmers. Notable features include: * Turn your Perl programs into ready-to-run executables * Pack scripts and required libraries with a binary loader * Put PAR files into @INC to avoid version conflicts * Works with remote URL as well as local files * Supports XS modules and DATA sections * Turns CPAN module distributions into PAR distributions * Install, uninstall, signs and verifies PAR distributions * Runs scripts inside PAR files, generated by "pp -p"
