Perhaps an answer with a bit more information would be helpful. Perl2EXE is still pretty rough. I've played around with it some, and had trouble compiling all but the most simple applications. There seem to be a bunch of modules it doesn't work with, in particular the CGI module.

At the moment, there doesn't seem to be much of a reason to compile Perl scripts, with the possible exception of distributing applications to Windows desktops without installing a full version of Perl.

Compiled support is supposed to be better under 5.6. My experience is all under 5_005.63.

Don't expect much faster run times, or smaller footprints. Even small apps compiled to around 1MB (Perl hauls in a lot of stuff).

Also, you might think about why you really want to compile Perl, and see if there's away around it.
