If your only concern is hiding the source, you might want to check out ActiveState's PerlApp. I'm really pleased with v4.0 so far. Especially since the executables are up to 60% smaller (in my experience). There is also perl2exe, but I haven't used the full version.
-----Original Message----- From: John Bennett [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, March 25, 2002 6:21 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Perlcc -B Hi All I have been looking into perlcc for a little while as I would like to compile a program to make the source unreadable, and haven't had much luck as it was compiling files of about 20MB which makes it a little harder for people to download - but I have just started using the perlcc -B bytcode compiler and that does not add much size to the files at all, and seems to work well on my machine What I would really like to know is, if at all using perlcc -B limits the portability of the program or whether it is easy to decompile? Your thoughts/suggestions are very much appreciated Thanks John -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This email may contain confidential and privileged material for the sole use of the intended recipient.
