I am a little bit confused as to the purpose of perlcc. I'll elaborate:

I made a perl script, called perl.pl.

Then I did perlcc perl.pl, which gave me a binary executable called perl.

../perl ran fine. Then I move "perl" to another directory add type ./perl 
which returns an error: Can't find perl.pl


So I am curious. If perl.pl has to remain hangin' around, then what is the 
point of perlcc. I thought perlcc would convert a perl script into a 
binary executable, which could then be distributed. Hence, giving people 
software to run while at the same time not handing over the source code to 
them.

Maybe I am using perlcc incorrectly...
