perl2exe does this on Win32 machines. I only tried the free version, 
and wouldn't buy the full package because it failed on Tk packages 
which was what I really wanted it for.

Other scripts were converted fine, but I couldn't get it to work with Tk. It
kept failing to find modules that were there. Haven't checked into it lately
but the url is:
