NAME
tkpp - frontend to pp written in Perl/Tk
SYNOPSIS
tkpp
DESCRIPTION
Tkpp is a GUI frontend to pp, which can turn perl scripts into stand-alone PAR files, perl scripts or executables. Below is a short explanation of all available screen elements; it is also displayed from the "Help" - "Help Contents" menu item. Source file The file you want to pack. Output file (--output, --par, --perlscript) The file you want the source file packed as. This option recognizes the ".par", ".pl" and executable extensions, and supplies the corresponding build option automatically. Use icon (--icon) The icon file you want your output file to use. This option will only work when building Microsoft Windows ".exe" files. Currently, this option only accepts ".ico" files. Add modules/files (--add) Add the specified items into the package, along with their dependencies. Multiple items should be separated by a comma (",") or semicolon (";"). Exclude modules (--exclude) Exclude the given module from the dependency search path and from the package. Multiple modules should be separated by a comma (",") or semicolon (";"). Scan dependencies (--compile, --execute, --noscan) Specify the dependency scanning method to use. See pp for explanations of the options. GUI (--gui) Build an executable that does not have a console window. This option is only applicable on Microsoft Windows, and is ignored when the output file is a ".par" file. Log (--log) Log the output of packaging to a file. The log file, tkpp.log, will be written in the user's home directory. Verbose (--verbose) Increase verbosity of output; from 1 to 3, 3 being the most verbose. This option is ignored if logging is not enabled. Build Starts building the package. File Menu->Preferences Specify the location to perl and pp. They must be set before Tkpp will build anything. The Tkpp configuration file, .tkpprc, is stored in the user's home directory.

I write code for a living not literature, so any misspelled words in any comments or anything, whoops ;)
