Best way- fill it with copyright notices, use a restrictive license,
get them to sign a document.
That's really the only way to protect perl code-- by legally
protecting it.
And then suing the ass off of your client if they break it.
You can not 'protect' perl source the way you are
How about stunnix, folks, does anyone have any experience
with their product?

This conversation disturbs me at a level more fundamental than source
code or business requirements.
You write that you [are] writting web application for mod_perl which
will be installed on client's server. That is to say that you are

Hi,
Just because you're using Apache (Apache License), mod_perl (Apache
License) and Perl (GPL/Artistic), it doesn't mean anything you develop
has to use any of those licenses. It is perfectly legal to license
your perl applications under any license you choose. It's also
perfectly ok to

Hello,
I'm new to modperl, and I have a question regarding how to handle
multiple POST-requests in one single connection.
For those interested, I need to communicate with CPE routers using
tr069 (http://dslforum.org)
In short, a router sends a http POST to the webserver, expects a
HTTP POST

AFAIK, I doubt it. I'm not a mod_perl power user but what you're
asking seems to me like asking if perl can run binaries that are
compiled out of C code generated with perlcc. There's always XS if you
want to include C code.. or ofcourse, you can always just write a pure
C Apache module instead

Hi americans :-)
Please try to understand that the situation is not everywhere like in USA
regarding the respect for copyright, including the respect for open source
licenses.
I have seen the suggestion for protecting the code by a license for many
times, but there are countries where those

So the programmer works for the source code, makes it open source,

comes another programmer that gets it, delete the name of the
author, make
some changes, and then sell the program
I think that if mod_perl programs could be very well encrypted, this
technology would be a little more used than it is now, but they
can't, and
if this is a disadvantage for some of us, we shouldn't say that the
programmers shouldn't need such a thing.
Teddy makes a good point. This

What about products like CPANEL, how do they do it?
There must be some standard usage already with Perl
being as prevalent as it is.
Currently we've separated our perl code out onto its own server
and use proxies to get to and fro.
It keeps a level of protection on our code.

it in a TO_CHAR() function, I get
