No. The packed executable is self-contained and doesn't need anything
from the original packing site.
The strings you saw are # line commentes (see the perlsyn man page for
"Plain Old Comments"). Their purpose is so that die() or warn() messages
mention the original filename and line number though the actual files
when running the executable may have totally different names (or might not
be files at all).
BTW regarding "my pp compiled binary": pp does *not* compile your perl script
in any way. Think of the resulting executable a self-extracting archive
that contains your script, any required modules and even a perl binary.
Cheers, Roderich
