in reply to .pl to .exe

Some background on all these programs to make a "stand alone" executable perl program.

There is no actual compiling going on. These programs scan the script for dependencies and then pack everything needed, including the Perl executable, inside an archive file that knows how to unpack itself and run the included perl.exe with your script.

A program should be light and agile, its subroutines connected like a string of pearls. The spirit and intent of the program should be retained throughout. There should be neither too little or too much, neither needless loops nor useless variables, neither lack of structure nor overwhelming rigidity." - The Tao of Programming, 4.1 - Geoffrey James
