Maybe because there isn't any compiler (that I know of, other than the
perl built in one, which doesn't output an exe).
If you want to bundle your Perl program, modules, and other resources
into an exe, check out PAR: http://par.perl.org/wiki/Main_Page

I thought ActiveState Perl outputted exe-s,
Or am I mistaken ?

ActiveState sell a program called perl2exe, which will make an exe from
a perl program. It's neither free nor Free, and I believe it does
essentially the smae thing as PAR.

You're not mistaken, but neither is that a compiler in the normal sense
of the word. It doesn't compile Perl into native machine code, it just
compresses and packages it into a standalone form that one can give to
a Windows user who hasn't installed Perl.

Do you really need a *compiler*? Perl is normally interpreted, not
compiled. (Well, there's some compilation that goes on when you
invoke a Perl script/program, but it doesn't generate a .exe file.)
If you do need a compiler, why do you need it? (Knowing will help us
to give you a meaningful answer to your question -- if there is one.)

perl2exe is a good way to generate a self contained interpreter and
your script into a nice useable exe for machines where perl isn't/won't be
installed.

ActiveState has a remarkable tool called Perlapp which packages your
environment and your code into a *.exe.
