Greetings, rmcgowan.

Using the example you provided. I'll propose some possible changes/additions 

use 5.012001;
use ExtUtils::MakeMaker;
WriteMakefile(
    NAME          => 'MyModule',
    VERSION_FROM  => 'lib/MyModule.pm',
    EXE_FILES      => ['script_name'],
    PL_FILES         => {},
    PREREQ_PM     => {'WWW::Curl::Easy' => 4.15,
                      'JSON::XS' => 2.32,
                      'Term::ReadKey' => 2.30,
                      'String::Strip' => 1.02,
                      'Date::Parse' => 2.30,
                      },
    ABSTRACT_FROM => 'lib/MyModule.pm',
    AUTHOR            => 'me <me@example.com>',
#    EXE_FILES         => [ 'script_name' ],
);

Note the addition, and position of EXE_FILES, and PL_FILES. This is normally how/where such things are added/used. I have no idea where your EXE file is, or if it's even a EXE type file. Same goes for the PL file. Is it a Perl script you are attempting to include? Where is it located within the Module tree? In the root? In a "script" directory off root? These are things you'll need to know, in order to accomplich your goal.

HTH, and best wishes.

Yes. What say about me, is true.
