Re^2: Creating an Executable

Well it seemed pretty simple. I am running a Windows machine so, I went to the command line and typed "cpan install pp". This installed the package. So, I went to the documentation and it said that all I needed to do was type "pp -o telnet telnet.pl" into the command prompt and it will make an executable file named telnet.exe out of my telnet.pl script. The error that I am receiving from that command is "C:\Strawberry\perl\site\bin/pp: Input file telnet.pl was not found". Not exactly sure what it is wanting me to do. When I traverse to that location it is just the pp.pm file.
