Hello Autrijus,
thanks for making a great job of enabling PAR && PP to community.
PP is a great tool, we are exploring possibility to use it with
some of our projects.
However, it does not work out of box, so we planning to make
some mods to it.
The question is, if we are going right direction and understood
the tool correctly. Quite possible you extending it also,
so if there are plans, we certainly do not want to duplicate your effort.
Problems we are addressing:
1 Applicability
-------
In some situations, we only need to apply Filter set to
limited number of files (for example, names matched by reg exp).
If we have a large Tk based GUI with sophisticated
dependencies, applying Bleach/Obfuscate will destroy
it unfortunately making resulting EXE unusable.
So ability to apply filter to only subset of files
will relax our problems.
Q: Will be the lib/PAR/Filter.pm right place to address it?
2 Obfuscate filter.
--------
- We need to be able control symbols that we are parsing.
Q: I guess right place to modify would be lib/PAR/Filter/Obfuscate.pm
to teach it avoiding renaming some symbols
For example,
------
use Cwd "mypath";
my $gka = mypath("/home/vas-vas");
----- -f Obfuscate will do something like this:
use Cwd "mypath";
my $Arizona = stethoscope("/home/vas-vas");
3. UPX
--------
In some of the forums, possibility for using UPX
http://upx.sourceforge.net/#abstract
was mentioned, to reportedly dramatically accelerate loading

and here:

I did not find a track on it in official
http://search.cpan.org/~autrijus/PAR-0.89/ PAR pages;
Q: Is there any plans for extending documentations or some documents
which I can refer to ?
Thank you,
Dmitry Mironov,
