Re: Re: PerlApp decompile?

Yep, I thought about that, and I located the temp directory where that stuff (assorted DLL's, Bill Gate's phone #, etc) get sent. But, the only time you see perl source there is if you use the -bind option and you have not specified the -clean option. On Win2K it appears that things get sent to: "C:\Documents and Settings\MyLoginName\Local Settings\Temp"

chinman

#!/usr/bin/perl -w
$camel = $hump
do {
  theHumpty($camel);
}

What I mean is while it's still running, before it has a chance to clean up. I suppose it uses the system's normal temp directory.

Wow how did you decode his files. I have done the same no no, i have lost the source code to a program i made an executable with using perlapp. My only hope to retrieve this code is to take it out of the exe. Using VS.Net i can see the script as a resource, but i can only extract it in binary format. How would i decode that binary so i can retrieve the original script? Thanks in advance Robert

I don't think anybody else read your message, since the thread is a couple years old. I suggest first signing up, then posting a new top-level message in Seekers of Perl Wisdom and you should include a link to this old thread that covered the subject before.
