atopolc has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

I am currently using PAR to create an executable that I can deliver to users who don't have perl installed on their machines. The exe has to connect to a database and must contain a password so I thought it would be a good idea to filter the code rather than keep it in plain view. Below is the command I am using to get PAR to filter the code.

pp -f Bleach -o out.exe out.pl

Because the executable is a self extracting zip archive I can open up the contents and take a look with a package like winzip.

To my surprise

There are two versions of the original perl script within the archive. The first is located at
 script/
and is filtered. The other copy is located at
 lib/
and is in plain text.

Does anyone know how to get both copies to filter?
