Title: RE: Source-Code-Protection you could always write your apps as a CGI on a web server that only you have access to.

RE: Source-Code-Protection
Title: RE: Source-Code-Protection True. Or one could use Soap::Lite for selected portions of thecode, and have the main perl script connect to the SOAP server to run the "meaty bits". Still, this is a lot of trouble. I'm pretty much with Morbus on this one. License your code properly and you're legally protected. Take a look at the GPL. Or, if you're that hell-bent on hiding your code, figure out what parts of it are truly worth hiding, learn C, and write some Perl extensions that your pure perl can use. This is not what perl's about, folks. jpt -Original Message-From: Peter Eisengrein [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]Sent: Thursday, October 31, 2002 9:14 AMTo: 'Harald Wopenka'; Perl-Win32-UsersSubject: RE: Source-Code-Protection you could always write your apps as a CGI on a web server that only you have access to.

Re: Source-Code-Protection
You can protect your code by creating an exe using perlapp. You can get an evaluation license for free (valid for 3 weeks).

Re: Source-Code-Protection
Just some thoughts from the administrator point of view here; Any scripts that we write during company time for the company are technically the property of the company we work for. The company decides what they want you to do. If they're to be used in consulting, than the writer must specify WHAT the employer is getting for their fees. Do they get source, or do they get a compiled exe? The best way of course is pure permissions and rights/policies, OR a CVS system. If for whatever reason the script doesn't work as expected, than it needs to be modified. A raw perl script (indeed any raw script) is far easier to work with uncompiled than it is compiled.
