Where are you getting this? Is there a perldoc PerlApp you are looking at?

The ActiveState PDK3.0 docs clearly state the purpose of PerlApp. It Turns your Perl scripts into executables, so that you can run Perl scripts on computers without installing Perl.

Maybe ActiveState stated the security business in previous versions of PerlApp or PDKs. And then again, perhaps they realized the folly of protecting IP. I'm sure they wouldn't want to be liable for someone's IP being compromised using their product.

Please post the relevant documentation so I can understand what you and tachyon are saying. No offense, but I think you guys are getting worked up over a fallacy.

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.
