OK, suppose I develop a Perl application. I want to create an icon for the
program so that a user may download the program and start it in the GUI by
double-clicking on the icon.
How does one go about doing it?
It sounds like 1) you want to put your Perl application into an
installable package, and 2) when installed, the installer should create
a shortcut on the desktop (?).
I use Perl from the command-line, but have looked at Perl GUI stuff
occasionally over the years. The key will be finding the right tool(s)
for your target operating system(s)/ desktop environment(s).
For Windows, I'd suggest ActiveState Perl:

For Debian GNU/ Linux, I'd suggest the Apt package management system and
the Gnome desktop:
