Converting perl file to batch file

yeah.
pl2bat script.pl
but it only has limited use - you still need to have perl installed for it to work. I would like to figure out how to compile perl into a self contained file, so that I can run a perl script on a (windows) system that doesn't contain perl. like a .exe or something. but I can't figure out how to do it

m4trix,
I have successfully run some simple perl scripts on a windows box without perl installed. I say simple because I don't know what would happen if I had a script with say; use Date::Manip;
You need perl.exe, perl56.dll, (both are in the \perl\bin directory) and the script of course.
And they fit on one floppy so you can carry it around on your sneakernet.

Thanks for the comments. Here is a link to the perl to executable program if you need it m4trix.
What I was really trying to accomplish here is actually trying to help out another fellow tek-tipper. If you see thread616-336805.
Well I don't know the answer to the question but I thought, HMMMM, maybe perl will tell me. So I tried the following:
print "Enter something as input: ";
$var = <STDIN>;
#and then converted it to batch hoping pl2bat would show #me the syntax for DOS, but as tgus has stated above, you #still need perl.exe and perl56.dll in order for the batch #to be interpreted. So if anyone knows please answer the #post
