The short answer is: *NO SYSTEM* whereby you deliver executable code to a customer is immune from reverse engineering. ActiveState sells a product that will produce executable binary files for a variety of targets from Perl source. This can be handy, especially for Windows-targets, because it gives the user a single .EXE file they can just run, without having to install Perl. The comes-with perlcc will function for those cases where "I just want to save myself the support hassle of casual users tweaking the script." -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- Lawrence Statton - [EMAIL PROTECTED] s/aba/c/g Computer software consists of only two components: ones and zeros, in roughly equal proportions.
