I work in security and have found pp par packed files that drop bitcoin and monero miners as well as a remote access trojan. The user created perl script is extractable and benign and the malicious code appears to resided somewhere outside of the user script, although I've not identified specifically where yet. The source is most likely the packer, so recommendation is to check the source of your packer as there may be malicious versions in the wild that insert malicious code into your compiled perl executables. Note, the code is highly resistant to sanbox analysis and carries out a good deal of VM enumeration so YMMV in getting it to run and do malicious things outside of bare metal execution.
