STEP BY STEP EXAMPLEĬreating the list of modules to be inside lib.zip: $> perl -MLibZip::Scan

The option -allowopts is usefull if you want to keep some behaviors of the Perl interpreter when calling your executable, like -v and -V that can report informations about the Perl version. Libzip -o -allowopts vVw -lzw -upx -upxlib -striplib -keepsrc -overwrite Libzip -perlbin script.pack -f script.exe # Create a library (lib.zip) with the modules in the file libzip.modules # Creates file.pack (used to create the executable) with inside. # Creates file.exe (combine -pack, -perlbin and -lib autoamtically). upxlib UPX binaries from the lib.zip EXAMPLES: COMPILE: perlbin|pb Create a binary from a package. overwrite Overwrite already existent files. obetter|ob Compile the file with all the options that can compress better. lzw Apply LZW compression to the package. keepsrc Keep sources created for compilation.

icon Set the icon of the executable (Win32 only). gui Create GUI (non console) executable (Win32 only). file|f Define the 2nd file for the options pack, perlbin and lib. The usage of this module is through the libzip script: OPTIONS: -allowopts Allow the Perl options. This package is what is appended to the Perl binary to create the self executable. This code will be the 1st thing evaluated when Perl is executed, and only after load all the enverioment the user script starts. Initialize Package (LibZip + user script) is a LibZip code responsible to load all the LibZip enverioment, enabling the use of a lib.zip file as the Perl library directory. One good example is TinyPerl ( ), that have Perl CORE and a basic library in less than 550Kb, what make possible to install Perl fast in any computer connected to the internet. The main idea of this module is to create the smaller Perl distribution as possible, having all the Perl enverioment compressed, including the distribution of scripts in a small package. This means that a hello world script as a self executable will have only 350KB (Win32). Can work with UPX to automatically compress the binaries inside lib.zip.Īll this featues will generate a Initialize Package of only 28 Kb, and a executable of less than 80Kb (Win32), plus PerlLib. Remove POD from the source of files inside lib.zip. Appended code to the executable can be compressed with LZW. Initialize Package code is compressed in the sources. Zlib compiled inside the executable (binary).

This module will create low weight self executables, that have this features: Perl library compressed in a lib.zip file. LibZip - Create very low weight self executables. CREATING THE lib.zip AUTOMATICALLY FROM YOUR SCRIPT.
