While it's reasonable to assume, it won't actually work.
The DLL problem ist just one aspect that works in a packed executable, but not
in .par + parl. Another is data files, either packed explicitly with "-a" or
implicitly for modules who are known to install stuff besides the actual Perl
code.
Stick to packed excutables.
