tkpp - frontend to pp written in Perl/Tk.
You just have to execute command line : tkpp
Tkpp is a GUI frontend to pp, which can turn perl scripts into stand-alone PAR files, perl scripts or executables.
You can save command line generated, load and save your Tkpp configuration GUI. Below is a short explanation of tkpp GUI.
When you build or display command line in the Tkpp GUI, you can save the command line in a separated file. This command line can be executed from a terminal.
You can save your GUI configuration (all options used) to load and execute it next time.
Load your saved file configuration. All saved options will be set in the GUI.
Close Tkpp.
Display POD documentation of Tkpp.
Display POD documentation of pp.
Display version and authors of Tkpp.
Display version and authors of pp ( pp --version).
There are five tabs in GUI : General Options, Information, Size, Other Options and Output.
All tabs contain all options which can be used with pp. All default pp options are kept. You can now set as you want the options. When your have finished, you can display the command line or start building your package. You will have the output tab to see error or verbose messages.
In Win32 system, the building is executed in a separate process, then the GUI is not frozen.
The first time you use Tkpp, it will tell you to install some CPAN modules to use the GUI (like Tk, Tk::ColoredButton...).
