dear Uri,

it is a web application but it is on premise. The user is not honest. That's why I am trying to find a way to protect the source code like in java we can compile into java class and still can be run.

I read some articles in the internet. Some method are using PAR, perlc, Filter::Crypto, acme::bleach, but I am not sure it will encrypt the source code and it still can be runnable.

The application users of course cannot read the source code, but the sys admin can access the source code and this sys admin is a dishonest person. :)

dear all,

I have a question. I have written a web application with perl, unfortunately everything written in perl, everyone can see all source codes I wrote. My question is is there anyway to protect those source codes? Compile or encrypt it?


if it is a web application and you don't give out the source, it should be inaccessible to users of the application. but in general there is no secure way to hide perl source if you want to distribute the program. if your application is worth something, then honest users will pay for it and you shouldn't need to hide the source.
