this has been answered about a thousand times on compl.lang.perl.misc. the answer is, it will not do what you want it to. in order to execute the file, you need to have it in plain text format. therefore, even if you encrypt it, it must be decrypted before running. if it can be decrypted, then there's no point in encrypting it in the first place. the only way to secure a script from being read is to delete it. alternately, you could remove read permissions on it, and hope that no one gains owner/root priviledges. encryption is not the answer for you. -- This screen intentionally left blank. _______________________________________________ linux-india-help mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/linux-india-help
