in reply to Recover perl file from .exe

This should be a lesson; start putting your source code into a repository of some sort. Learn what revision control is, and how to use git or hg (Mercurial) and sign up for a free account on Github or BitBucket.

If your software is proprietary, you'll have to pay a small fee to use such a site, otherwise, set up a server internal to you.

There are many other revision control systems available, but those two (particularly git/github) are widely used and reliable.

    Yes, I can avoid this in future

    But now I need a source code for my application

    Is there any chance for it?

      I followed the recommendation from Corion and found this node Help recovering some source code from activestate perlapp 5.3.0 that has a bunch of what appear to be useful links. I had the same problem many years ago and wound up giving up and recovered most of my source code another way. This is a bummer of a problem and wish you luck! I lost 3 HD's in a once in a 100 year power event, even had actual smoke! Luckily nothing aside from the computers actually burned. Multiple copies locally on multiple computers may not save you - backup needs to be off site.

      Did you read the other comments that state exactly where to look?
