perlpowertools.exe provides all PerlPowerTools packaged as a single standalone Windows executable (no dependencies). Perl interpreter included.
As BusyBox, if the executable is renamed / hardlinked / symlinked as one of the tools, it will behave as that tool automatically.

util/packer # bundles everything together with PAR::PackerThe build script util/packer uses PAR::Packer to package the content of `bin` and generate packed/perlpowertools.exe (about 11MB). When executed, this file unzip itself into a temporary directory (meaning fhe first run takes a few seconds).
PAR will execute the tool from `bin` with same name as the executable (without extension). The executable MUST be called 'perlpowertools.exe' or 'one-of-the-tools.exe', otherwise PAR won't know what to run.
Yes, copy them into `bin` and run util/packer.
- - The executable is detected by some antivirus software.
- - Modulinos need a patch to work, please see PROGRAMMING_STYLE.md.
- - Feedbacks of any kind are very welcomed and encouraged.
