I have had a look at this. As far as I know its a Windows only application that compiles your Perl code into a Windows exe. It only runs on Windows. Its not open source.

From the mentioned webpage above:
<QUOTE>
Perl2Exe is a command line program for converting perl scripts to executable files.
This allows you to create stand alone programs in perl that do not require the perl interpreter. You can ship the executable files without having to ship your perl source code.
Perl2Exe can generate executables for Windows and Unix target hosts.
Perl2Exe can generate cross-platform code. For example you can generate code for Solaris from a Linux machine.
Perl2Exe also allows you to create no-console programs using Tk. </QUOTE>
which seems to give the impression that it does run on other OS's apart from M$ and can generate other than window$ binaries.
