DESCRIPTION

The Perl Dev Kit (PDK) provides essential tools for building self-contained, easily deployable executables for Windows, Mac OS X, Linux, Solaris, AIX and HP-UX.

The comprehensive feature set includes a graphical debugger and code coverage and hotspot analyzer, as well as tools for building sophisticated Perl-based filters and easily converting useful VBScript code to Perl.

WHAT'S NEW
Version 8.0.1:

New PerlCritic application - The new perlcritic-gui application is a GUI interface to the Perl::Critic set of modules. Perl::Critic policies are used to analyze Perl source code against "best practises". perlcritic-gui acts as a policy editor for the .perlcriticrc configuration files and can also be used to run Perl::Critic against a tree of sources and walk through the scan results interactively.

Cross-building support in PerlApp - PerlApp can now create non-native executables for any other platform supported by the PDK. PerlApp can automatically maintain an ActivePerl installation for these other platforms. It will try to install all locally available modules via PPM into the non-native Perl installations too.

The "--list-targets" option displays a list of all available target platforms that can be specified with the "--target" option. Alternatively you can maintain the non-native ActivePerl installation yourself and use the "--target-perl" option to tell PerlApp where to find it.

Cross-platform building works with ActivePerl 818 and later.

REQUIREMENTS
Mac OS X 10.4 or later, ActivePerl 816 or later is required for universal binary support in PerlApp

    ****.

    TRAHE  Perl Dev Kit is a great tool for doing cross.platform Applications, though you will need to install on every single Platform andbuild on them,

    the integrated PPM Package Manager, makes installing and maintaing Modules a snap, but well the PPM packages are quite less compared to the complete CPAN, anyway this helps a lot to keep an eye on dependencies and make sure the App will work in (special) Windows, too.

    I rather like the debugging in Komodo IDE

    I miss some kind of simple GUI IDE, but well this is merely the point of Perl ..., since there are many, and very OS dependant GUIs
