The competition has been doing this for years. I'm hoping ActiveState will step up to the plate with PDK 7, but so far I have not found this to be true in my testing with the beta release. What's the official word on cross-platform builds?
Cross-platform builds are not a planned feature of PDK 7. PerlApp creates executables that are specific to the platform on which they are built. To the best of my knowledge there is no executable format that is universal to all platforms -- Windows uses XCOFF binaries (if I remember correctly), Linux uses ELF, and Mac OS X uses the Mach-O executable format.
