Re: Compiling perl script in Fedora Linux-4

perlcc has never worked and is dead. Searching for perlcc on this site alone returns many nodes telling you so. To hide your source code from the end user, use Acme::Bleach or some other source filter.

Also, see the Perl FAQ on How can I hide the source for my Perl program.

As an aside, diotalevi++ for championing that perlcc must die.

perlcc has never worked and is dead. Actually, not quite true! I worked at a place a few years ago where perlcc was used in order to boost performance (significantly, I might add) for CGI scripts. I remember being stuck on perl 5.003 because perlcc was broken in 5.004, since it was truly never really supported. But it did (mostly) work in 5.003... no argument with "dead" though, of course. :) -- edan	[reply]
