Anyone know of any good perl compilers for windows. I have searched
and found no good ones.

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 ?

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.
