I have used both of these, and when it comes to win32, a great many people have trouble with the likes of perlcc, so it does have a use. I would like to mention, as before, that this is only faux security at best, but i imagine that, as stated elewhere in the thread, there is some oh-so-pointy-haired-polotics at work here. For the ActiveState exe solution, i would point to this node for some info on it's secutiry specifically.
