Congrats on reaching 1.0.

Where is the perl code? All I saw was an exe for download.

All the source is in CVS.

Possibly, I should make a more formal release of it.

Well, I was able to get the perl code running.

I needed to grab Tk::Icon from here:
http://www.bribes.org/perl/ppmdir.html (found your request to have it
compiled in comp.lang.perl.tk).

I had to add the registry key for Install_Dir manually, but that's no biggy.

Have not been able to find Win32::Shell anywhere (not that I would
probably use that function anyway).

But overall, your program seems to work pretty good!

Thanks

Great! Yeah, Win32::Shell seems to only exist for Perl 5.6 ... which is
the version I am using now. That was pretty slick of you to hunt down
Tk::Icon.
 
Gonna go wayyy off-topic here... What do you think of PAR for creating
exe's? I did briefly look into it a few months ago, but it looked like
it needed more work. Do you like it? No problems? Easy? Hard?

I currently use the Perl Dev Kit to compile my perl code, but I am
always checking out other options.


Thanks for any info and for Cliptastic!

PAR is extremely easy to use. I pretty much just pass it a script and
an icon and it works. I do notice that it is a bit slower to load
scripts than, say, perl2exe -- but PAR is free and that is good enough
for me.
