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.
