• perlapp works for everything.

Honorable mention

• Perl::Dist works for win32
• CPANPLUS::Dist::RPM
• CPANPLUS::Dist::Deb
• PPM::Make
• PAR::WebStart
• ...
• MSI/RPM/DEB/apt-get/7z/rar...

Work

• Inline::Module works for one .pm file.
• App::FatPack works for a bunch of .pm files.
• perlcc , experimental
• shar/park/Compress::SelfExtracting work, probably

"Current choices" are the only choices to consider, they all work about the same, and they're all current, and they work.

"Honorable mention" also work, but they either do more, or do less, or ... if you have a need for such, you already using them, for example to enhance the "Current choices".

"Work" are sometimes basic, sometimes outdated, sometimes experimental ... fancy toys :) More work than solution :) Respectable, workable, but still work :)
