Self-extracting .exe files under Linux

Hello monks,
is there any module to make a self-extracting archive under linux os? I want to have .exe files (like WinRar) for Windows users (and not .zip), but I'm working under Linux...
Thanks.

This is not a perl answer, indeed it is not really a perl question in the first place but you can create an executable self-extracting archive from a .zip file on LInux by prepending the /usr/bin/unzipsfx file to your zip file if you want a Linux executable or by doing the same with the unzipsfx.exe file from windows if you want a windows executable. How you obtain these is your problem to solve - as I said this is not a Perl question.

If you want to package a perl application, have a look at par.
