NAME

6       tkpp - frontend to pp written in Perl/Tk
7

SYNOPSIS

9       tkpp
10

DESCRIPTION

12       Tkpp is a GUI frontend to pp, which can turn perl scripts into stand-
13       alone PAR files, perl scripts or executables.
14
15       Below is a short explanation of all available screen elements; it is
16       also displayed from the "Help" - "Help Contents" menu item.
17
18   Source file
19       The file you want to pack.
20
21   Output file (--output, --par, --perlscript)
22       The file you want the source file packed as.  This option recognizes
23       the ".par", ".pl" and executable extensions, and supplies the
24       corresponding build option automatically.
25
26   Use icon (--icon)
27       The icon file you want your output file to use.  This option will only
28       work when building Microsoft Windows ".exe" files.  Currently, this
29       option only accepts ".ico" files.
30
31   Add modules/files (--add)
32       Add the specified items into the package, along with their
33       dependencies.  Multiple items should be seperated by a comma (",") or
34       semicolon (";").
35
36   Exclude modules (--exclude)
37       Exclude the given module from the dependency search path and from the
38       package.  Multiple modules should be seperated by a comma (",") or
39       semicolon (";").
40
41   Scan dependencies (--compile, --execute, --noscan)
42       Specify the dependency scanning method to use.  See pp for explanations
43       of the options.
44
45   GUI (--gui)
46       Build an executable that does not have a console window.  This option
47       is only applicable on Microsoft Windows, and is ignored when the output
48       file is a ".par" file.
49
50   Log (--log)
51       Log the output of packaging to a file.  The log file, tkpp.log, will be
52       written in the user's home directory.
53
54   Verbose (--verbose)
55       Increase verbosity of output; from 1 to 3, 3 being the most verbose.
56       This option is ignored if logging is not enabled.
57
58   Build
59       Starts building the package.
60
61   File Menu->Preferences
62       Specify the location to perl and pp.  They must be set before Tkpp will
63       build anything.  The Tkpp configuration file, .tkpprc, is stored in the
64       user's home directory.
65

NOTES

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