This script are not written / made executable / packed byme - am just suppose to use it and at this point of time i need to edit to change some parameters - but am nt able to open it - thats the problem - if you want i can send a sample program -- SK
No. Perl (not PERL) is human readable. It is a script, not an executable. You are saying you have something that was at one time a Perl script but you give no indication what software mangled it. Could you send the top ten lines? Some programs that like to mangle Perl: find to Perl awk to Perl sed to Perl grep to Perl # tho slower than grep BTW, there is no such thing as a decompiler. At best you may find a disassembler. That is a program that takes a binary and produces the assembler code from it. -- __END__ Just my 0.00000002 million dollars worth, --- Shawn "For the things we have to learn before we can do them, we learn by doing them."
