in reply to Extract perl2exe code

Playing the devil's advocate, I can read your question as:
I got this "compiled" Perl program in which some foolish programmer hardcoded the encryption key, thinking it would be safe from prying eyes. But we all know better, don't we, so please give me a tool to extract that encryption key, so I can go and steal all their date and warez.

A program should be light and agile, its subroutines connected like a string of pearls. The spirit and intent of the program should be retained throughout. There should be neither too little or too much, neither needless loops nor useless variables, neither lack of structure nor overwhelming rigidity." - The Tao of Programming, 4.1 - Geoffrey James

    Excellent, excellent point.. I can't ++ enough. Even *more* reason not to rely on hiding how something works.
