There is pay software from ActiveState that will allow you to do that. However, recovering the source is a pretty trivial task and the only advantage such a thing gains you is the ability to execute your code independent of an interpreter. See also pdk.	[reply]

And PAR, PerlBin and Cava Packager. Note that what these utilities do is wrap the script and the interpreter into a single executable, and not actually compile it.	[reply]

You can't — `perlcc` (the Perl compiler) is dead. But you might want to try PAR.	[reply] [d/l]

Why do you want to do so?. Why can't you use actual perl script?. Asked the above questions after thinking about scalability and maintainability in mind Vivek -- In accordance with the prarabdha of each, the One whose function it is to ordain makes each to act. What will not happen will never happen, whatever effort one may put forth. And what will happen will not fail to happen, however much one may seek to prevent it. This is certain. The part of wisdom therefore is to stay quiet.	[reply]
