Either of PAR, PerlApp (from ActiveState's PDK), or Perl2exe can be used for packaging up the script and it's dependent CPAN modules. I've used the two first successfully.

Add an installer, like InnoSetup, the NullSoft Installer (the one from WinAmp), or MSI and you've got something that the end user can't distinguish from other Windows programs (which is a Good Thing(tm)).

It doesn't do automatic updates though. I'm sure there's a CPAN module waiting to be written there :)

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
