I'm leader of Sao Paulo Perl Monger, of Brazil, and is very common we have post asking how to compile Perl as a like compiled language to protect they code. And we first recommend to keep on opensource or than protect by license, because Perl was not build to hide code (maybe by obfuscation). I know about PDK and perl2exe, and we recommend too, but most post are about web system.

But I would like know how others mongers are doing business with Perl around world ? How they build and sales a product with no code "protection" ? Have we just a way of build a open source and sales consulting ?

Thanks for this meditation
