Here's an example running on windows:

#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;

use Text::CSV;

print "Derp\n";

[download]

Ensure the code runs as expected from the command line. Now package it and the modules used:

D:\>pp -x -o derp.exe derp.pl
Derp

[download]

Note that -x runs the code, which is why Derp is displayed, this determines other runtime based dependencies. Now I see:

D:\>dir derp.exe
 Volume in drive D is Data
 Volume Serial Number is F217-BC95

 Directory of D:\

05/07/2013  16:21         4,003,560 derp.exe
               1 File(s)      4,003,560 bytes

[download]

Running the code works as expected, not that it's doing much. As explained pp creates a self extracting executable so you can basically unzip it using 7zip (or similar) to see what's inside.

Note well the other PAR/pp debugging advice given over the last few days.

Update: slight reword of the -x usage explanation.

Update 2: substitute your perl code for mine, convert as above and report back any problems.
