From http://www.autrijus.org/par-intro/slide002.html

What is PAR (Perl Archive Toolkit)?
- Do what JAR (Java Archive) does for Perl
  
  Platform-independent, compressed file format (zip)
  Aggregates modules, scripts and other files into one file
  Easy to generate, update and extract
- Benefit of using PAR:
  
  Decreased download and deployment time
  Saves disk space by compression and selective packaging

  I bookmarked this sometime ago.
  However it just occurred to me,
  this is a suboptimal name.

For Windows you have two solutions besides PAR (which I haven't tried myself): PerlApp and perl2exe.

This is an example of a Perl-program-as-exe:

In addition to the program-in-one-file you also probably need an installer. A good one is InnoSetup, or the one from the WinAmp guys.
