I'm not entirely surprised that I'm getting negative XP for this post. After all, I hold a pretty idealistic point of view that tools like perl2exe do more harm than good.

But I believe that people who try to lock up Perl source are spitting in the face of the people who brought Perl to them in the first place.

So shoot me.
