The goal is to create a program which can be installed from the software
centre like any other. I don't want the code to be accessable by
anybody. I have used pp to package it but the resulting file does
nothing. Double clicking doesn't work and running it from a terminal
results in a command not found error.

I have a perl script I wish to publish but doing so seems rather akin to

What's the goal? Make the perl script widely available for people (you
don't know) to discover and install on their systems easily? Or is
this a script something only a few techy people may be interested in?
If the latter, then maybe just put the script on a pastebin, github,
launchpad or other host and point people to it with simple
instructions for downloading and running it.
If the former then you will need to do a little work to learn how to
package it. The documentation is uh.. comprehensive, but there's some
simpler guides like this one:-
