I extended Robert Jones' Perl Obfuscator, Shroud into what I am calling Shroud+. I
needed it to protect some rather extensive scripts I have developed for
Inventory and Image Gallery management on client web sites.
It seems to work just fine with mp2 and my source code, so I thought I would
let folks know about it here, in case they find it useful.
New stuff includes:
- Specification of input/output directories
- Writing of status info to STDOUT
- Replacement of internal subroutine names (those beginning with an
underscore "_" character).
- Optionally replace public subroutine names if the input
is a perl Module (.pm file) AND if you specify that an externalmap should be
created.
- For scripts (not .pm modules ) it will optionally take an externalmap file and
use this to rename subroutine calls to be consistent with the Perl Module that
was used to create the externalmap file.
- Replacement of 'use constants' definitions with capitalized shrouded
identifiers
- Replace object-oriented attributes that take the form
'$self->{ "_attr" } = "something";' and that are found inside a constructor (sub
new).
- removal of tabs and condensing of multiple spaces
- removal of newlines
- POD updated to reflect the above and more bugs/features/caveats noted.
