kick-ass perl EXE compiler

    Check my new, kick-ass, pre-alpha version of perl compiler and obfuscator! Binary only, of course, because I take intellectual property rights seriously!

    Make sure you read the fine print!

    Update: Changed \s* to \s+. 

    #!/usr/bin/perl

      Lol. I loved your "kickass Perl compiler" so much that I just had to s/eval/print/ for a closer look. ;)

Re: exe from Perl

      Hi , I copied the pp code , but I didn't have the right perl version
      so I downloaded a sun freeware for perl 5.8.0
      (I assumed that it was compatble to rev 5.0.6
      I installed it , and every thing went very smooth
      only now , when I try to run it I get diagnostics regarding
      missing packages "Can't locate Archive/Zip.pm" .
      do you have any suggestion regarding that ?
      maybe I showld use the same perl version , if that true
      where can I take it from .
      Thx for your help
      michaeg
