in reply to PerlApp decompile?

You have to love a story with a happy ending. Thanks to the work of the monks at A real challenge the encoding has been cracked and chinman's scripts regenerated. They have be duly emailed to him.

I guess one take home message is if security is your prime concern don't depend on making your perl script a .exe providing this as it is quite possible to regenerate the source code verbatim.

cheers

    Wow!

    I am very impressed and very, very grateful for the help!! I am at a loss. Thanks to everyone, particularly tachyon for taking this bull by the horns! Saintdom can't be far off.
