in reply to Decompile an executable created through perl2exe

Well, if you look into Perl2Exe's documentation, it says that it gives you the option to include certain modules in the output Exe file. However, this is not done by default. So, Perl2Exe includes the perl source code of the main program and the perl interpreter. But it does not include the modules unless it is specifically told to.

Source:
http://www.indigostar.com/pxman.html - look for string "#perl2exe_include modulename"

    Using the equivalent of Linux's strace for your OS will tell you what files (=external perl modules, text) are read during runtime and you will find whether said modules are external to the exe or are also included in the exe and you need to adjust the method in order to extract them too.

    EDIT: just had a look at the comments of the link you cited and there is a similar case where more than "main" needs to be extracted.

    Thank you for your response. I am writing an disassembly code to crack this. I will let you know if I am able to do so.
