I guess that these files are stored somewhere Yes, the unpacked files are stored in your temporary directory (and therefore likely to be reaped upon closing/restarting your computer).

the executable will unpack to perl?
it's disappointing,
I thought pp has turn it into a totally binary code which is no different to a common C program

no, pp just 'packs perl' into a self extracting executable. definitely has it's uses, but it does not turn your code into binary.
run procmon or something similar to find the path that your script.exe is running from and you can see all of your code and any included modules

it's disappointing Why is that disappointing? It is still Perl.And as you remarked, its main use is to deploy applications on machines that do not have Perl installed. The docs of pp clearly state "Source files are compressed verbatim without compilation".
