Or Activestate's PerlApp, which basically does the same thing. Though, do only use this as a mechanism to ease installation, not as a way to hide your source, or even speed up your code. I think you can just open the executable in a hex editor or even a plain text editor, and just read the source.

Pod-Browser and The GUI Loft are two examples of applications that can be downloaded in binary form. At least perl2exe does some encryption of the source, though as you can read in "perl2exe - no more secrets", it is easily broken.

You might reconsider using PAR or maybe even tinyperl instead.

p.s. AFAIK perlcc has been abandoned because of insurmountable problems. It didn't give any speed improvement anyway. So, don't use it.
