Scripts generally can't be turned into executables and that is especially true for Perl. However you can package your script up so that it runs as though it were an executable. Generally that is done by packaging the Perl interpreter along with the script and any modules that are required by the script into an executable file that unpacks everything when it is run then transfers control to the unpacked interpreter to run the unpacked script. This imposes some overhead so, depending on your application may not be suitable.
