Description
Perl Dev Kit (PDK) introduces essential tools for building and deploying Perl applications to intensify your work.
PDK features cross-platform wrapping and application builders for Windows, Mac OS X, Linux, HP-UX*, Solaris*, and AIX*, including a suite of tools to speed development and improve code quality across teams. The comprehensive feature set includes PerlApp, PerlCtrl, PerlMSI, PerlNET, PerlSvc, PerlTray, Coverage Analyzer, Filter Builder, Graphical Debugger, PerlCritic and VBScript Converter.
PDK 9 supports Perl and ActivePerl 5.8, 5.10 and 5.12.
*PerlApp cross-platform wrapping targeting Solaris, AIX or HP-UX requires a Business Edition, Enterprise Edition or OEM License. Compare Editions.
Characteristics:
* PerlApp
Now with cross-platform wrapping, use this sophisticated, easy-to-use tool for bundling Perl source code and modules into executables for distribution for any platform. Includes application builders for Windows, Mac OS X, Linux, Solaris*, HP-UX* and AIX*. ! Note that PerlApp cross-platform wrapping targeting Solaris, HP-UX or AIX requires a Business Edition, Enterprise Edition or OEM License. Compare Editions.
* PerlCritic
Enforce and apply coding standards across your whole team, including best practices and entirely customizable policies.
* Graphical Debugger
Extremely nimble debugging client for Windows. Remote debugging support lets you debug scripts on virtually any platform.
* Coverage Analyzer
Improve code performance and reliability through coverage experiments, hotspot analysis and data set comparisons. Find and address issues before executables are deployed.
* PerlMSI
The better way to create Windows MSI installation files - using Perl code, with support for custom
dialogs, shortcuts, registry entries and more.
* Filter Builder
Need to filter log files, chunks of code or other text files? Filter Builder is an intuitive tool for interactively operating on text, with filtering and replacement.
* VBScript Converter
Jumpstart your transition from VBScript to Perl. Generate Perl code from VBScript, recognizing all popular type libraries, including Microsoft Excel, Windows Scripting Host, Lotus Notes and more.
* PerlTray
Convert Perl programs to native Windows system tray applications.
* PerlSvc
Convert Perl programs to native Windows services.
* PerlNET
Allow .NET code to call Perl code, and implement .NET classes in Perl.
* PerlCtrl
Wrap your Perl code as an ActiveX component.
System Requirements:
General:
* Recommended 35MB hard disk space for typical install;
* ActivePerl 5.8.8.822 or later for Perl 5.8 support;

* ActivePerl 5.12.1 or later for Perl 5.12 support.
Windows
* PerlNET requires .NET 2.0.;
* x86/x64 architectures only;
* Windows XP or later.
Mac
* OS X 10.4+ (PowerPC);
* OS X 10.4+ (Intel).
