I've used pp many times over the years, you don't show how you tried to make the exe (see also How do I post a question effectively?), but calling it with the -x option tends to resolve many of these problems:
pp -x -o package.exe source.pl
This runs your program to determine any additional run time dependencies. I've tested this with the code above and the exe generated works as expected:
C:\marto>package.exe
This is a paragraph.
It contains several sentences.
"But why," you ask?
C:\marto>perl -v

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.
