Question

I am trying to create a .exe in perl. It works fine until I try to compile it into an exe. I am using Komodo IDE 5. I have posted my script and the error below. I have added the modules, LWP::UserAgent, NET, and Google::Voice and it still doesnt work. I use perlapp to create the .exe

#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;
use warnings;
use Google::Voice;
use Date::Calc qw(Delta_Days);
use Net::Twitter;

#Set Days
    my @today = (localtime)[5,4,3];
    $today[0] += 1900;
    $today[1]++;
    my @RT = (2012, 7, 7);
    my $days = Delta_Days(@today, @RT);

#Get Quotes and Phone Numbers
    open FILE, "c:/Countdown/countdownNumbers.txt" or die "Couldn't open file: $!"; 
    my $numbers = join("", <FILE>); 
    close FILE;
    open FILETWO, "c:/Countdown/Quotes.txt" or die "Couldn't open file: $!"; 
    my $quotes = join("", <FILETWO>); 
    close FILETWO;

#Create Arrays and Lengths
    my @numbersArray = split(/[\n\r\l]+/, $numbers);
    my @quotesArray = split(/[\n\r\l]+/, $quotes);
    my $length = @numbersArray;
    my $QuotesLength = @quotesArray;

#Send Text Message
    for(my $i = 0; $i < $length; $i++){
        my $g = Google::Voice->new->login('secret', 'secret'); 
        $g->send_sms($numbersArray[$i] => "      Countdown\nDays Left: " . $days . "\n Quote:\n" . $quotesArray[0]);
    }


#Send Twitter Message
    my $nt = Net::Twitter->new(
        traits   => [qw/OAuth API::REST/],
        consumer_key        => 'secret',
        consumer_secret     => 'secret',
        access_token        => 'secret',
        access_token_secret => 'secret'
    );
    my $result = $nt->update($days .' Days left!');
    $result = $nt->update('Quote: ' . $quotesArray[0]);

#Rewrite the file and close it
    open FILETWO, ">c:/Countdown/Quotes.txt";
    for(my $i = 1; $i < $QuotesLength; $i++){
        print FILETWO $quotesArray[$i] . "\n";
    }
    close FILETWO;

Answer 1

Compiling perl script into exe file is not so straight-forward, I’m afraid. ) Check this discussion at Perlmonks for details.

From what you’ve quoted it seems that you might start fixing that with installing additional modules: Algorithm::Diff::XS, Date::Calc::XS, etc.
