Are you working in a Windows variant?  If so, Windows will not just 
execute something with a '.pm' extension.  Try just using

  pp -o compiled.exe main_perl_file.pl

Notice in your example below you have ".pm" twice:
   > pp -o compiled.pm -M Exporter module.pm
I use "compiled.exe" because that would be the name of the executable I would 
be trying to create.  I use perl_file.pl because that is the perl code I would want the 
compiled executable to be created from.

Also, I use Exporter quite often in my modules, and I NEVER have to use '-M Exporter'.  Try making your line just 
   
      pp -o compiled.exe main_perl_file.pl

Internal to each perl module that I use, where I want to export subroutines 
(NOT in the .pl file!) I have something like this:

    package my_package;
    use Exporter;
    @ISA = qw(Exporter);
    @EXPORT = ( "subroutine_1",
                "subroutine_2",
                ...
                "subroutine_N",
              );

Good luck
