__top

DESCRIPTION

Don't use this module, use the perltobin application that comes with it, it's much more useful.

Try perltobin --gui, you'll like it, i guarantee it (double your money back ;D).

__top

METHODS

Well, they're all pretty much self explanatory, now aren't they?

scan_deps just keeps scanning files for dependencies. The list just keeps growing.

add_deps just keeps adding modules to the list (scanning their dependencies recursively). The list just keeps growing.

PutBinary creates the actual binary (dir-paths must exist).

PutDeps creates 'lib' in $outdir and copies all the dependencies there.

PutSO
