I haven't used Perl2Exe, but I suspect this won't be possible. bar.pm as you describe it is intended to be a resource, whereas bar.exe would be a program.

The only way to accomplish this that I could think of would be to write another script that uses Bar.pm, and provides a command-line interface so you could perl2exe the new script, and make system calls with command-line arguments in foo.pl.

Frankly, I'd suspect that perl2exe won't provide much code protection anyway. Many of these 'create an exe out of a scripting language' programs just give you back an executable perl interpreter that's designed to look inside it's own file for the perl code to execute. (which means that anyone with an editor can open the exe, page through the binary garbage, and find your code at the end) If your desire is simply to protect your source, you'll be better off finding a tool specifically for that.

Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>

to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
