<blockquote><i>Does it means I should give up trying CavaPackager?</i></blockquote>
<p>I think that the answer to that depends on what version and distribution of Perl you want to use.</p>
<p>For whatever reason, it looks like development on [http://www.cavapackager.com/|Cava Packager] stopped and the latest Perl version that it supports is 5.16. So if you want to use a newer version of Perl (and/or if the module versions that you want to use require a newer version of Perl), you might not be able to get Cava Packager to work. And although the developers recommend using [http://www.citrusperl.net/|Citrus Perl], they do note that "other builds and distributions of Perl may also work". So if you use a build/distribution of Perl that is not compatible with Cava Packager, you might not be able to get it to work.</p>
<p>If you're looking for a free alternative to Cava Packager, you could look into the [https://metacpan.org/pod/pp|pp] utility from [https://metacpan.org/pod/PAR::Packer|PAR::Packer]. And in case you ever needed to bundle Perl code into an executable on Windows, [salva] has released [https://metacpan.org/pod/Win32::Packer|Win32::Packer]. I haven't tried Win32::Packer yet, but I've been wanting to.</p>
<p>Of course there are other utilities that you could purchase to bundle your Perl code into an executable. I won't name any here, but you could easily search for those if you really wanted/needed to go that route.</p>
