in reply to Converting .pl to .exe file

Welcome. The pp documentation is pretty good. Install pp:

cpan pp

Package your script and the required modules:

pp -x derp.pl -o derp.exe

When using pp I always use the -x out of habbit, to check for additional run time dependencies. You should now have a executable you can run. The first time you do so it'll take longer than subsequent runs because it unpacks everything into a temporary directory. If you have packaging issues just unzip the .exe file as you would any .zip file and investigate, you can also enable verbose messages when calling pp:

pp -x -v derp.pl -o derp.exe
