I have made my perl scripts executable(perl2exe) but I can not run them on mahcines that do not have Perl installed. How can I get them to work w/o having to have perl installed on every machine I want to run my scripts on?

Thanks Stealth but I am not using a Unix environment. Let me give a little more info on what I am doing.
I am using Active State Perl on a Windows ME OS and I can run my scripts on my machhine w/o problem. I have to give these scripts to other people to use on their machine so I use perl2exe to convert the perl scripts to executable. In order fo rmy scripts to work on the other mahcines I have to get Perl installed. Is there a way I can deploy the exe to the other machines so that they work w/o having to install perl?

I very much doubt it...because it is Perl that interprets the .exe, and produces the output.

Yeah, but only if you have Perl installed on the computer you are trying to run it on? It can't compile Perl into the .exe every time you create a Perl script?

I have seen .exe work before with a .bat file on a Win ME machine that didn't have perl installed on the machine. You would place the script in a folder with its .bat file. Place the files you want processed in the same folder then run the exe. That is what I am looking for. I do not know how to do that but the idea is the same.
