If I remember rightly, the AS perlapp creates a fully functional .exe, but it has like a 5-second pause and shows a "You're using a trial version" banner before it exectutes. You can send it to your client and if it works, buy the full Dev Kit and get him the non-pause program.

Something I thought of: To test for dependencies, go find perl58.dll in your Windows directory and rename it. Then rename c:\perl to c:\Notperl or something. If you can't run your packaged script with all dependent paths cut off, then the problem is likely in what you're packaging. See above messages for where to look.
