Hello, I was successful at installing par and pp'ing a small script, and have some questions based on PAR::Tutorial.
1) Perl2exe can cross-compile -- for example, from linux one can convert a perl script to a .exe file that will run on Windows. (the creation of the .exe does not requires access to windows). However, the example in PAR::Tutorial "Cross-platform Packages" requires one to run pp on a Windows platform to generate an executable that runs on Windows. Why is there this limitation in pp? 2) When I applied "pp -f Bleach" to a script, the resulting executable did nothing (things are OK without Bleach). How would one go about debugging this? 3) The bullet about "Code Obfuscations" mentions the possibility to use Crypt::*. Are there any examples of this? 4) The bullet about "Code Obfuscations" mentions "_product activation_" over the internet. Any examples of this? perl2exe has registration keys that can unlock features selectively. How can this locking be had with pp? 5) Are there any references to help understand the Bonus Slides in PAR::Tutorial, and to understand what goes on inside "Heavy.pm"? --Suresh
