The perltray file extension is associated with the Perl Dev Kit from ActiveState, a development environment for creating Perl programs. PerlTray is one of the kit's tools for packaging a Perl program as a tray application.
A perltray file stores the project definition and build settings used by PerlTray. It forms part of the project rather than being the Perl source code itself, and may refer to the source files and other options required to build the application.
Perl Dev Kit is available for multiple platforms. The perltray format is a tool-specific project format intended for use with the Perl Dev Kit, not a general-purpose interchange format.
Open a perltray file with the Perl Dev Kit and its PerlTray tool. The project should be opened from the Perl Dev Kit environment so that its build settings and referenced Perl files are handled correctly.
There is no standard conversion from the perltray project format to another project format. Use Perl Dev Kit to open the project and recreate its settings in another build system if necessary.
The Perl source files referenced by the project can be reused separately, but converting the perltray file itself is generally not useful.
