I don't know if this will help or not, BUT I find that when making an .exe with ActiveState some work is required. When I run from the command line, I can have a XXX.pl that just has "use Tk;". When something shows up that the autoloader needs, it gets loaded. To get that same program to compile to an standalone .exe I need lots of "use" statements to force modules into the "compiled version": 
use Tk;
use Tk::LabFrame;
use Tk::Listbox;
use Tk::Scrollbar;
use Tk::Button;
use Tk::Menubutton;
use Tk::Menu;
use Tk::Widget;
use Tk::Label;
use Tk::Entry;

It could very well be that you don't have enough "use" statements. These statements force compilation and inclusion of the code into the .exe file. The above are very standard widgets. Stick those "use statements" into your source. And see what happens. In std environment, "use Tk;" is enough, but that is not enough for a "compiled version".
