in thread Decompile Perl2EXE back to original source

Oh I'm sure of that. The perl2exe reference I saw online mentioned that some versions just XOR the source against some key and had a step-by-step instruction process for extracting the source.

    Per merlyn on that other thread:

    Why? Why? If it's just a bundler, let it be a bundler. It can never be really secure, because I can always single step the program to the point where you call the Perl interpreter's "eval" method with the now-decrypted source code.

    Which is, of course, true. It's all just a matter of effort in the long run...

      I'd still like the data to be revealed... I can wish anyway.
