I have a large perl project that i have split up into one main .pl file and multiple .pm files that are being referenced by the main .pl file . I wish to package everything into one file .I used to use "Perl Packager " so that i can have only one executable to send to multiple machines. However pp doesnt locate the .pm files and only packages the pl and other installed perl modules it references . Is there another method of providing this functionality?

Here is an example of the code i am using in the start.pl 

#!/usr/bin/perl 
use strict;
 use warnings;
 use Time::HiRes qw(usleep);
 require moduleA;
 require moduleB;
 &moduleA::functionA();
 &moduleB::functionA();
 &moduleB::functionB(); 
__END__

and the perl moduleA 

package moduleA; 
use strict;
 use warnings;
 require Expect; 
require Time::HiRes;
 require moduleB;
 use Time::HiRes 
qw(usleep); 
sub functionA() 
{
 my variableA ="&moduleB::functionB";
 .............. 
................ 
return someihng; }

[download]

When using pp pp start.pl -I ModuleA.pm ModuleB.pm -o start
