in reply to RFC: Compress::LZW

My god, it's like Open Source 0-day warez! :-)

This will be great, perfect for packaging perl software to people in a nice, self-extracting file with no library requirements.

    ??? I think your comment was meant for Compress::SelfExtracting, but that would have requirements anyway... namely a perl interpreter. I don't believe it applies the SelfExtracting to any of the libraries anyway. Also, it's okay to publish the code, it's just that you guys can't use it... until tomorrow ;)

      Well actually, I was thinking of doing the self-extracting bit myself - just a perl script with some __DATA__ .... And yes, it's for perl scripts on the server, I didn't think that you could create a binary with it or something. (And I was joking about the warez.)
