The PDK costs money though. PAR (available free through the
perl package 
manager that comes with activestate perl) works on basically
the same 
concepts (and therefore works almost if not exactly as
well), but the 
documentation is worse and it's usability is worse (command
line only, no 
gui).

I've used PAR a lot, and apart from some strange issues with
finding and 
packaging the correct DLL's for a DBD::Oracle application,
it's worked 
remarkably well.

I second that. PAR works for simple packaging, but the money
spent on 
the PDK will save you a fair number of hours and headaches
(more hair on 
the head). In addition, the PDK helps to package special
applications 
like Windows services, system trays. Those are time-savers
as well.
