"My code works gr8 as .pl but after it's converted to .exe with the pp module,
it gets a strange encoded (I think) text, that I can't understand nor convert to it's standard form.
Another weird thing is that the .exe created version of out.txt is about 4 times longer than the .pl's."
I did a quick test. I can confirm that I experienced the same problems (garbled characters and large file) as you described. For a quick solution, maybe you can try PerlApp. I did a test with PerlApp using your demo script. The executable produced by PerlApp works as expected.

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).
