Re: Encrypting source code :(

Hm. Most of the discussions seem to be about "non-PAR-packed" scripts, but the problems mentioned there probably apply here as well:

2013: Password Protect a Perl Script
2015: Code hiding in Perl
2017: How can a script use a password without making the password visible?
2018: hide perl script

In the 2013 thread,they mention PAR::Filter::Crypto. Perhaps that's the missing link in your toolchain?

thanks soonix, PAR::Filter::Crypto is Filter::Crypto::CryptFile for PAR. Albeit, I can't figure out if there is a way to make it to ask for the encryption key whenever I run the program. As it is, it does not even ask for key when it encrypts and creates the PAR - it uses a key created at install-time. Reading at the other links you provided, maybe PAR::Filter::Crypto is not the way to go after all.	[reply]
