Thanks. On Windows I did 'cpan install B::C'
and it went on and on with many test fails.
After about 3 minutes it threw a 'Perl interpreter
has stopped working' error (details below) and when
I closed that box it continued with the test fails
for another 3+ minutes and then stopped (it was probably
still running - I did a Ctrl C on it). One little
item I picked out is
ExtUtils::Install generates non-zero binary'
So then I did 'cpan install -n B::C' and that also
ran about 5 minutes with test fails and threw a
'Perl interpreter has stopped working' error. When
I closed that box it continued with the test fails
for another 5+ minutes (I took a shower in here) and
then slowed down on statements like
# Failed test '6: use Pod::Perldoc -O3 gives expected 'ok' outpu
# at t/modules.t line 227.
# ''
# doesn't match '(?^ms:ok$)'
The install still running, but I think it is safe to say
it does not install real good on Strawberry Perl.

Sorry Mike, I was a bit too terse!
Here's what I did on a mac OS X 10.13.6 containing perl-5.26.1
installed with perlbrew.
cpanm -n B::C
where -n means 'no test' because the first time I tried it the testing
failed and I wasn't curious enough to work out what went wrong :-)
Then I had a file foo.pl <http://foo.pl> which was executable and
contained:
#!/usr/bin/env perl
use 5.26.1;
say "Hello, world.";
say "Hello, world.";
say "Hello, world.";
say "Hello, world.";
say "Hello, world.";
say "Hello, world.";
say "Hello, world.";
say "Hello, world.";
I then ran
perlcc foo.pl <http://foo.pl>
and found a file "foo".
I ran
./foo
and its output was the same as
./foo.pl <http://foo.pl>
Opening foo, I found the string 'Hello, world.' but only once amongst
a lot of control characters and error messages.
I'm afraid I don't have a Windows box to experiment with.

I could use some more explanation.
B::C is a module that you install from CPAN.
I assume I don't put Use B::C at the top of
my perl script, but instead perlcc uses it.
Is perlcc also a module?
Or is that an executable?
I think I see that it is composed of 5 files:
assemble
cc_harness
disassemble
perlcc.PL
pl2exe.pl <http://pl2exe.pl>
After installing perlcc, do I just open a command
prompt and type perlcc -o hello.exe hello.pl <http://hello.pl>?
Does all this work on Windows? My guess is Yes.
