Check exe2perl --
http://www.mail-archive.com/perl-win32-users@listserv.activestate.com/msg24466.html

These are truely not compilers -- just wrappers -- something like
zip2exe -- extract script and execute on the fly.

A shortcut hack that you may try -- change the perl interpreter program
to cat ;-)

Cheers!
