This was discussed at PerlMonks:
http://www.perlmonks.org/index.pl?node_id=96925
http://www.perlmonks.org/index.pl?node_id=97005

Note that this relates to PDK 3, and if you use the latest version of 
PerlApp it may not apply.

I don't think the source is extracted to disk, only the DLLs (they are also 
left behind in a temp directory after the program is done which is kind of 
sloppy (this goes for PDK 3)).

RE: Reverse Engineering

[Tillman, James]

I seem to remember from using an older version of PerlApp that it actually
extracted the perl source into temporary files when it ran.  If this is
still true, it might be possible to locate the temporary files...

I have to admit, this is a shot in the dark for me, because that was a
looong time ago.
