Regarding how to create executables from perl scripts,
take a look at the perl PAR package
http://search.cpan.org/~smueller/PAR-0.977/lib/PAR/FAQ.pod

But, as RB wrote in this thread, in a CF environment you should
get and use a perl distribution. Using EXE files is useful in IR
(generally speaking, during live response).
