in reply to Uncool Use Of Perl: perl2exe. decompile quick steps

Out of interest, what was the debian package you were examining?
qwurx shmem ~/stuff > file foo foo: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), dynamic +ally linked (uses shared libs), for GNU/Linux 2.0.0, stripped
Linux 2.0.0 makes me think it's quite an old package, and created with a correspondingly ancient version of perl2exe. My company uses v8.80, which is not as trivial to extract the source from.

    It looks like perl2exe 8.40. I can see

    /home/indy/dev/p2x-8.40/stubsrc/NEWperl.c

    running strings(1) on the binary.
