Since at least 7 of your users will have to "install" your little app on their laptops, you could use the fatpack tool (in App::FatPacker) to bundle your app and its dependencies into a single .pl file.

Then there's the pp tool (in PAR::Packer). It can bundle your app and dependencies into an exe file. An advantage of using pp is that the exe will include its own copy of Perl. The down side to doing this is the start time is slow (because everything gets unpacked to a temporary folder each time it is run).

pp has an option to create a Perl script. I have not tried it, so I don't know if this might be a better option.

There is also a "par" tool in PerlPowerTools, but I'm not sure how helpful that will be. Nor was I able to install PerlPowerTools (there was a failure in one of the dependencies that I don't have time to debug), so I can't try it.
