in thread What happened to perlcc?
Hi ,
My aim is to hide the perl code from end user and I am looking at either of the options of encrypting it or converting to some executable.perlcc is showing some errors in my case .perl2exe doesn't provide any licence (in free version) ,so I can't use at company level.
Can any monk provide some pointers ,how to go about from here i.e. either tweaking with perlcc to make it work or some other tool !!
Thnx |

I really cannot think of a good reason why someone would want to hide their Perl source code. Certainly any hacker who would take the time to study someone else's Perl algorithms (since they are done at such a high-level anyway) in order to reverse-engineer the solution would already possess the ability to code it originally.
The only code that I ever felt necessary to hide would be machine-specific assembler stuff, but even that runs contrary to my Open Source philosophy.

I believe you completely overshot the answer to their question and missed the moon to boot. Your particular beliefs or reasons why you would think someone would want to hide their Perl source code, sincere or not, do not constitute in any way an answer to the question.
