Can we make PERL CODE AS EXECUTABLE

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

Hello Monks,

Can we do the Perl script as an executable file, it is just not to show our code to everyone

also please let me know incase any installation is required, If you can provide a detailed example, that would be great

Thank you in advance

hello Sekhar Reddy, you can use `pp` from PAR::Packer but be aware that the code will be easely decryptable anyway: see Re^3: Code hiding in Perl where master afoken explain how. You can find many useful links about `pp` on my library under `PAR pp exe` L* There are no rules, there are no thumbs.. Reinvent the wheel, then learn The Wheel; may be one day you reinvent one of THE WHEELS.	[reply] [d/l] [select]
