I'd recommend looking over the documentation for pp to get familiar with the various options.

It would be more helpful for others to understand your problem better if you included more details on what didn't work as well as some information of the code itself.

Based on what you say that you used (pp -o file.out file.pl), I think that what happened is that the pp utility didn't pick up all of the needed modules (and/or possibly needed libraries). I'd recommend using the -c and -x options (NOTE: those are lowercase letters - see the documentation of pp for more details). You may need to even use other options to manually include needed modules and/or libraries.
