Hi Perl Monks, I am new to Perl and have taken over some of the support for Perl code. I have many executables which were created many years back and it does not have source code. I am running into support issues and the person coded it is no longer associated with our organization. I went through several forums and some say that we can retreive source by converting the exe to .zip and then unzip to get modules and some are pointing to http://www.thice.nl/perl2exe-back-to-perl-2014/ where the exe is being pulled in assembly coding and extract the main.pl however if there are associated pm or functions or subroutines I am not able to extract it. is there a way we get back the modeule/subroutines from the exe which was created by PERL2EXE. Any help or insight to get the source code back is appreciated. Thanks, Mithun
