protect perl script code

[Mr.Profeta]

Hi there,

I coded some perl script and want to allow users to download it, just dont want that people change to code. Do you know some good way to protect the code? I know that php allow it, Im wondering if I can do it with perl scripts

perl2exe is a good solution for those windows/dos based users. It compiles your code into a binary.

I know that you can compile your perl and create an exe. Never tried it though.

How can you achieve this with php ?

For php scripts you can encrypt them using a program like zend or ioncube, I use ioncube and it works brilliant. The server the scripts run on has to have the "loader" installed so it can run but that's not a problem.
