A decade or more ago PAR was the suggested packager for plugins. Until
somebody figured out a simple .zip file would do as well...
I again looked into it about a year ago, when I was wondering whether
we'll have to package LMS for OSX, as Apple announced they'd drop the
scripting languages. But I think I never got to actually get a working
archive.
On Windows we've been using a commerical packager forever (ActiveState
PerlSDK). Alas, that product is no longer recommended by the vendor...
the recommend using a Docker container instead...
FWIW: these are not compilers. They basically create an archive with all
the Perl files which then are extracted at launch time. There's no
performance improvement, if that was something you were looking for.
