As I've said at least a few times here, the perl2exe tool is not a way to hide your source code.

Now it's even come to the attention of the security community (reported in bugtraq, for example).

For details, see the report from net-security's page.

Please stop supporting perl2exe. Please use PAR for a complete installation package, or perlcc to simply compile the top-level program.
