I need to package an installer-application written in Perl 5.6.1 (HP-UX 11.00), which uses LibXML-1.53 Module.
The problem is, that on customer side, we may not have make/gcc present (and it's an overhead to install make/gcc/bison/flex). Make and GCC are 'required' for doing a perl Makefile.PL for LibXML-1.53 and other perl modules LibXML-1.53 depends upon.
Is there a way to do a 'perl Makefile.PL;make;make test; make install' on our test systems, and then use those pm files for the packaging? I tried copying the entire perl 'lib' directory, and I set my $PERL5LIB appropriately, but I still get the following error: 
# /opt/perl/bin/perl -e 'use XML::LibXML'
Can't find 'boot_XML__LibXML__Common' symbol in opt/perl/lib/site_perl

If I could make an executable out of the whole application, it would be the best thing. But it's still ok if we are able to run the installer applicaiton after installing perl and libxml2 (C libraries).
I've tried using perl2exe, perlcc and perl2bin, but there is some problem or the other.
Please help.
