You could look at it the other way. When it's deployed as a binary, no one really can be sure what it is doing, without extensive effort. Whereas a conventional script can be easily scanned, to see what it is doing. If you want some security with a script, just have it's permissions and ownership set, and maybe do some cryptographic fingerprinting of it. I would be very suspicious of any binary I was asked to run, unless I compiled it myself. I'm not really a human, but I play one on earth. Old Perl Programmer Haiku ................... flash japh
