I don't have access to a Windows machine right now, I usually recomend running pp with the -x flag:
pp -x -o 1193701.exe 1193701.pl
On Linux I created example exes using pp with and without -x, as you can see there's differences in what is being packaged:
rwxrwxr-x 1 marto marto 149 Jun 27 16:31 1193701_oneline.pl
-rwxrwxr-x 1 marto marto 148 Jun 27 16:31 1193701_twolines.pl
-rwxr-xr-x 1 marto marto 3322431 Jun 27 16:32 oneline.exe
-rwxr-xr-x 1 marto marto 3417012 Jun 27 16:32 oneline_x.exe
-rwxr-xr-x 1 marto marto 3428235 Jun 27 16:34 twolines.exe
-rwxr-xr-x 1 marto marto 3428929 Jun 27 16:34 twolines_x.exe
Note the different sizes. Runtime:
marto@netbook:~/perlmonks$ ./oneline.exe

Clearly, the one line of use... example isn't packaging Date::Calc when called without the -x option. The good thing about the executables created is that they are zip archives you can extract and examine the differences. If I get time later I'll do some more digging, but this should be a reasonable avenue for investigation.

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).
