As to

Does this mean that executable will work only on similar kind of environment or OS you can say.

Pretty much, yes. While it has been many years, since I have had the need (or desire) to work in such an environment. Using the one you're currently working in will require at least a similar one. Doing it as you are now.

There are other options/methods to accomplishing what you're after. But I can't recall right off, all the details. So I'll defer to others, until I have better details to offer.

Best wishes.

UPDATE:
While the solutions mentioned in The Perl Compiler (turning perl scripts into binary executables) aren't the one(s) I was thinking of, or have as broad an application. The node does provide you with a great amount of insight, in spite of it's age.
